Save – and earn
We’ll analyse the energy usage of your operations – including electric machinery, equipment and other assets – then suggest changes that optimise your performance and deliver monthly savings.
We can also help you take advantage of both Drax ElectriFlex, our own demand management scheme, and the demand flexibility service (DFS) from National Energy System Operator (NESO).
Optimisation benefits
Avoid peak costs
When electricity demand spikes, the price rises too. So, flexing your operations and energy usage in peak periods can deliver significant savings.
Generate power and income
Producing your own power can help support the grid when demand rises while cutting your costs and selling your excess power to earn extra revenue.
Trade energy
By flexing your operations and energy usage when short-term wholesale electricity prices rise, you can sell the nominated power you don’t need.
Back renewables
Flexibly shifting energy use from periods of high demand helps maintain grid reliability as the UK becomes more reliant on intermittent renewables.
Support stability
Reacting to grid signals by turning flexible assets up, down, or off reduces the need for fossil fuels to deliver grid balancing mechanisms.
Get closer to net zero
Flexibility supports net zero cost-effectiveness as the grid spends less on running reserve assets and turning off renewable generation.
ElectriFlex and DFS – your flexible friends
Make the most of the flexibility in your operations by joining our all-year Drax DFS or the winter-only NESO DFS.
Drax ElectriFlex
Your participation with Drax ElectriFlex means we can minimise your exposure to peak network and industry charges, and estimate the value of using your flexibility in balancing services. If you decide to proceed, we'll share the value with you.
NESO DFS
As demand-side flexibility becomes an even more significant tool for organisations and NESO as the UK strives to meet its net zero targets, we’re committed to continuing our support.
