Call for evidence description

This call for evidence builds on the October 2023 Capacity Market Phase 2 Call for Evidence and engagement that followed. We are seeking views and evidence from stakeholders on a range of topics relating to consumer-led flexibility, delivered via Demand Side Response (DSR) mechanisms in the Capacity Market, such as:

  • Generating Technology Classes for DSR technologies
  • new de-rating factors for those technologies
  • management of aggregated DSR portfolios
  • improving Baselining Methodologies
  • introducing completion milestones for new DSR entering the CM

This call for evidence may be of interest to: 

  • Capacity Market Participants
  • energy suppliers and DSR providers
  • trade bodies
  • consumer groups
  • Capacity Market delivery partners

This call for evidence is being published alongside a consultation which presents proposals to modernise Capacity Market Rules and improve participation and delivery assurance of consumer-led flexibility.

We encourage respondents to review both the consultation and the call for evidence in tandem, and respond to both using the online response form.
