Registering flexibility assets makes it simple and reliable for providers to record and manage their assets.
Elexon will deliver a single, trusted system which will reduce paperwork, build confidence in the market, and help unlock the full value of assets while supporting a more digitalised energy system.
About the flexibility market asset register
The system for registering assets is built around four key principles:
- open & collaborative – we work with stakeholders to shape how the process works
- API-first & connects easily – designed to work smoothly with other systems through APIs and the Data Sharing Infrastructure (DSI)
- follows standards – uses national and international standards to keep things consistent
- secure & reliable – keeps data safe, private, and trustworthy for everyone
What assets can be registered?
The register will initially focus on smaller-scale assets (under 50 kW) [Verification needed ]
When will this be available?
Elexon will launch a fully supported flexibility market asset register in 2027. This system will act as the single source of truth for all registered asset details.
Benefits of registering assets
Recording assets through this process offers key advantages for flexibility service providers (FSPs) and the wider market:
- faster market entry – less paperwork means you can get started more quickly
- better data – a complete and trusted view of assets improves sharing and interoperability
- greater confidence – make decisions with clear, transparent information
- easier integration – simplifies adding new and existing flexibility technologies to the system
It’s also crucial for supporting the growth of consumer-led flexibility, which needs to increase from 2.5GW to 12GW by 2030 to meet the government’s goal for clean power. Streamlining asset registration helps improve coordination and efficiency across the entire flexibility market.
Help shape this process
You can help guide the asset registration process by getting involved in our series of design workshops, running through the end of 2025. In these sessions, you’ll help develop core features and functions to make registration easier and more effective.
