Elexon welcomes Gill Baker and Matthew Billson to its Executive team

What This Means

Elexon's role in implementing half-hourly settlement and facilitating flexibility markets is crucial for a more efficient and responsive energy system. These reforms aim to better balance supply and demand, which can ultimately lead to lower costs for consumers. We view strong leadership in these areas as a positive step towards a smarter grid. A more flexible market should help integrate renewables more effectively, potentially reducing reliance on expensive peak generation.

• Consumers: Could ease pressure on household energy bills over time.
• Businesses: May lower energy overheads or open new savings for businesses.
• Energy market: Points to improving conditions in the UK energy market.
