  abstract

  Continuing with the theme of flexibility and taking a whole system view, we have this year delved into more detail on two important providers of flexibility in our Future Energy Scenarios (FES): domestic end consumers and hydrogen. Both are assumed to be available at scale to assist with operating the system in all the Net Zero scenarios in FES. However, both are currently at negligible levels. So, what is needed to ensure that end-consumers' demand side response will be sufficient to reduce peak demand in winter 2035? And what are the key barriers to be resolved so that hydrogen can play an important role in both demand and supply flexibility?
  note

  [Quote: "By 2035, FES tells us that smart charging of electric vehicles as well as demand side response (DSR) in domestic households are required to lower overall peak demand. For this to happen, householders will need to have some or all of the following: an energy tariff or service to incentivise demand shifting, the right infrastructure connected to their homes, smart appliances, new heating systems and energy storage. The enabler to all of this is a higher level of consumer awareness and engagement in energy and Net Zero."]
