Flexibility Plan 1.0 is a starting point for coordinated and collaborative action to unlock the value of distributed energy resources (DER) and flexibility for households, businesses, communities, the power system and Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Plan is a living checklist which deliberately identifies what needs to be done from the perspectives of households, businesses and communities and the electricity ecosystem. The purpose is to provide a framework for leading the transition required by the whole electricity system, including consumers with and without DER, to maximise the value of flexible resources.
The Plan is not perfect. It is a starting point. The steps will be updated, added to and ticked off as we do and learn. We want to produce Flexibility Plan 2.0 by September 2024.
Delivering the entire Plan will take many years and requires support and resources from across the electricity ecosystem.
