Demand Management (DM) is a service for the provision of reserve in contingency timescales, via a reduction in active power from demand sites. DM provides a route to market for the Demand Side participation in the provision of Reserve, where potential barriers to participation in the existing Balancing Services have been identified. National Grid encourages the provision of DM via aggregators (or agents) in order to establish a single point of contact for any portfolio of Demand sites.

For more detailed information on Demand Management please view the information in our Balancing Services Contracts Information Pack.

For further information on services which Demand Side can provide for National Grid please consult our dedicated demand side section of the balancing services website or contact David Wildash on +44 (0)192665 4946 or E-mail david.wildash@uk.ngrid.com
