Description
The Building Flexibility & Demand Response Optimisation service uses AI to actively manage electricity consumption across a municipal building portfolio in response to external grid requests, dynamic tariffs, and cost signals. By analysing incoming consumption data alongside grid operator notifications and tariff conditions, it generates actionable curtailment and rescheduling recommendations that building operators can review and approve before implementation. The result is a systematic approach to demand response participation that reduces peak-hour expenditure and positions the municipal estate as a controllable flexibility asset.

Business Need
Municipal facility managers need an operational capability to manage electricity consumption across their public building portfolio in response to grid operator signals and cost incentives. Without AI-driven automation, identifying which buildings can contribute to a flexibility event — and by how much — requires manual effort that is not scalable across a heterogeneous estate. The service addresses the need to reduce peak-hour electricity costs, participate in demand response programmes, and demonstrate verifiable load reductions to grid operators while keeping facility managers in full control of every curtailment action.
Key Performance Indicators
Curtailment delivery rate: proportion of requested load reductions successfully delivered
Flexibility estimation accuracy (MAPE): mean absolute percentage error between estimated and verified curtailment
Constraint compliance rate: 100% of recommendations must respect all building comfort and operational constraints
Realised cost savings relative to baseline expenditure
Data Provided
15-minute smart meter telemetry for all portfolio buildings
Grid operator flexibility event notifications (simulated signal feeds)
Day-ahead and intraday electricity market price data
Building-specific comfort and operational constraints (temperature setpoints, non-interruptible loads)
Measurement and verification reports comparing actual vs. baseline consumption
