We are excited to announce a strategic agreement with Pod Point to conduct a 6-month flexibility trial.

British Gas uses Centrica DSR intelligent scheduling platform to offer free EV charging for a year.

We are delighted to have won two major awards in quick succession for our Sandbox Project in partnership with Dimplex and Midland Heart.

We are excited to announce the launch of the British Gas Dimplex Quantum Tariff, the UK’s most advanced electric storage heating tariff for use with the Dimplex Quantum Storage Heater.

We are currently participating in the DESNZ Interoperable Demand Side Response programme, collaborating across government and industry to define DSR technical standards.

Hive and British Gas trial a new tariff add-on for EV drivers to intelligently schedule their charging.

Working with Glen Dimplex, a leading manufacturer of electric heaters, we’re launching a new project that will help lower energy bills for consumers – and also pave the way for more domestic devices to be used for balancing the grid.

We are participating in the cross-sector project, Optimise Prime, which aims to help networks plan for, and promote, the EV revolution.

We recently connected over 1,000 Mixergy hot water tanks to our DSR platform, thus enabling us to intelligently manage their collective storage capacity to create a ‘Virtual Power Plant’ that stores excess energy when the grid is quiet, then releases it when demand is high.

With the use of our demand side response technology, we’re playing a key role in the MAESHA project, helping to decarbonise an energy system for the first time ever.

The Centrica DSR platform builds on the same technology that connected over 200 homes and businesses to build the innovative Cornwall Local Energy Market (LEM).

In 2019, we collaborated with sonnen to install a network of 100 domestic batteries that formed the UK’s most advanced Virtual Power Plant. The project, approved by National Grid, created an innovative network of decentralised home energy storage systems.
