The Smart Secure Electricity Systems (SSES) Programme is a government programme to establish technical frameworks, governance, and policies to securely unlock consumer-led flexibility (CLF) in the domestic-scale market, empower consumers to save on energy bills and enable the scaling of competitive and trusted CLF markets.<\/p>\n

The programme will establish a robust set of technical and security frameworks to regulate how energy smart appliances (ESAs) communicate, how load controllers and flexibility service providers manage household flexibility, and how cyber security, grid stability and consumer protections are maintained. These frameworks will support the UK\u2019s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan by enabling millions of ESAs to respond to price signals and grid needs, helping consumers shift their usage to cleaner, cheaper electricity and reduce their energy bills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n
