Research to Quantify Demand-Side Flexibility
Tender ID: 566206
Tender Details
Tender Description
EECA is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced energy analysts and energy modellers to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility of mitigating risks and issues in New Zealand's electricity system through demand flexibility (DF).
The objective of this project is to analyse demand patterns and drivers, understand the underlying structure of the demand shape, identify key contributors to peak demand across sectors, and propose strategies (e.g. products, technologies and consumer offers) to enable demand flexibility, thereby reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing grid reliability.
There is currently a huge amount of interest in demand flexibility and the benefits that an effective DF system in Aotearoa can bring. Taking on this project will put the supplier at the centre of helping frame up that benefit for NZ Inc and communicating the story. It provides a unique opportunity to build knowledge of DF strategies that can contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and improving resilience of the electricity grid, as well as reducing electricity costs for consumers across New Zealand.
