Making Electricity Flexibility Easy For Households, Businesses and Communities

Things like water heaters, solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, heat pumps and space heating can be operated flexibly to reduce power bills, help keep the lights on and reduce carbon emissions.

FlexForum brings together people and organisations from across the electricity ecosystem to work together to make it easy for households, businesses and communities to maximise the value of their flexible electricity resources.

Flexibility is central to electrification and decarbonisation

Flexibility is shorthand for the ability of electric vehicles, small and large scale solar and batteries or heating and cooling equipment to alter their generation or consumption patterns when asked.

Households, businesses and communities are key

Electrification first and foremost involves households, businesses and communities deciding to invest in and use distributed and flexible resources like solar, battery systems, electric vehicles and EV chargers.

Coordinated and collaborative action

We bring expertise from across the electricity ecosystem to identify the capability needed for flexibility to support an affordable and reliable electricity system and zero-emissions economy.

Coordinated and collaborative action will accelerate electrification and decarbonisation

Flexibility Plan 1.0 lists the things that need to be done to make it easier for people to make choices about and use flexible resources

Delivering the plan will mean distributed and flexible resources can:

  • Support affordable and reliable operation of the electricity market and power system
  • Enable accelerated electrification by households and businesses as part of the transition in Aotearoa New Zealand to a zero emissions economy.
