Introduction This dataset provides information on where UK Power Networks requires flexibility services. The dataset provides a mapping of postcodes to Flexibility Zones – for all existing and historic day-ahead and long-term flexibility requirements. This enables potential flexibility service providers to quickly understand their eligibility for revenue from flexibility, without sharing any sensitive personal or commercial information. This dataset provides an approximation of eligibility for our flexibility tenders. Please note that even if your asset is within a postcode listed in this dataset, as part of the flexibility procurement process we will need to validate that the individual meter point (MPAN) is electrically connected to the Flexibility Zone. Methodological Approach Postcodes are listed against a Flexibility Zone where at least one meter point within that postcode is electrically connected to the constrained network asset. For large Flexibility Zones, which cover multiple postcodes, this will be a very good indication of eligibility for flexibility services. For smaller Flexibility Zones, particularly those at Low Voltage, a significant proportion of properties within a listed postcode may ultimately not be eligible. As part of our flexibility procurement process, we will check the individual meter point (MPAN) to confirm its final eligibility. This dataset offers an approximation of eligibility, without requiring any sharing of household or business level data. Quality Control Statement Dispatches are passed through a quality control algorithm to flag anomalies and erroneous data. Quality control checks include: Checking the formatting of postcodes Checking the number of postcodes mapped to each Flexibility Zone Checking that Flexibility Zone names align with those in other datasets on the Open Data Portal and on UK Power Networks’ chosen flexibility market platform: www.localflex.com Assurance Statement The Flex Zone to Postcode mapping is reviewed before publication by a member of Flexibility Markets team.
