Communities and the smart energy revolution- Bristol

An interactive forum for community energy groups, local authorities and local energy stakeholders to collaborate and learn from one another to help develop local energy projects. WPD experts will be on hand to update you on the latest innovation projects and new flexibility markets, helping build partnerships that generate income for local organisations, using the network more efficiently to enable more renewable energy to connect.

Flexibility markets are an emerging value stream for energy generators and consumers, and you’ll be able to find out how these services work, hear about new projects happening on the ground from the most advanced community and local energy groups, and learn how your community can access new local electricity data which can open up the smart grid.

WPD are looking to roll out the ground-breaking OpenLV platform which makes local electricity data available to communities and businesses. Organisations interested in accessing this data can express their interest and discuss the programme with WPD at these events.
