UK clean flexibility roadmap—powering up Britain’s clean energy flex-appeal
Energy analysis: On 23 July 2025, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), Ofgem, and the National Energy System Operator (NESO) jointly launched the Clean Flexibility Roadmap (Roadmap). For the first time, all three principal public bodies have set out a unified, actionable strategy to deliver a smarter, more flexible, and consumer-focused energy system. The Roadmap sets out how flexibility can support the UK’s clean power ambitions for 2030 and net-zero by 2050, with a focus on market reform, system planning, supply chain resilience, and international cooperation. The Energy team of CMS considers the matter.
