Reserve Reform
Update - 18 December 2020
The Reserve Reform project aims to deliver a standardised suite of upward and downward reserve product(s) that work holistically with new frequency response products and reserve replacement products (TERRE and MARI) and can be procured at day ahead through an auction held on the Single Market Platform from March 2022.
We are co-creating this product with industry and hosted a workshop on the 9 December 2020 to communicate the need for reserve, and the ESO’s drivers when designing a product suite and market. We also wanted to understand the industry’s needs and drivers, share ideas to facilitate co-creation of a new reserve product suite and identify common themes and areas for further investigation.
You can view the slide deck and feedback on the four topics from the workshop below:
