    Utilities Consulting Supporting Seiverkot in the Preliminary Assessment of Demand Response

    Smiling people shaking hands at the office and celebrating a successful project.

    The increase of demand response in the electricity system is essential as renewable energy replaces older forms of energy production and new types of electricity consumption increase, both among end users and in industry.
    However, ready-made, comprehensive processes for this do not yet exist at the distribution network level.
    Companies are facing new territory as they need to explore how demand-side flexibility could be utilized to enhance the operation of their own networks.

    People gathered around a table, engaged in conversation behind a glowing lamp.

    Collaborating Toward Concrete Solutions

    Solteq Utilities Consulting assisted Seiverkot Oy in initiating this assessment.

    The preparation included gathering initial data through expert interviews, building a workshop based on this input, analyzing the results of the workshop, and creating and presenting proposed next steps.

    During the workshop day, the Utilities Consulting expert first provided Seiverkot staff with an in-depth introduction to the topic of demand response, which helped focus on the actual issues to be addressed.

    After the initial briefing and data review, the needs, use cases, and readiness for demand response were clarified through several targeted collaboration sessions.

     

    Clarity for Demand Response and Tools for Decision-Making

     The ultimate goal of the work was to bring clarity to demand response, which at this stage still appeared vague to many.

    As a result of the assessment, Seiverkot received concrete action proposals about a month after the start of the project, which the company is now using in its internal decision-making regarding the advancement of demand response.

    The success of the project was ensured by a fast start and a clear plan established at the outset for how the overall process would be executed.

    "I appreciated that we received action proposals specifically tailored to our company and that the project didn’t remain on a general level."
