As the UK moves towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, the challenge of balancing security, affordability, and decarbonisation—the Energy Trilemma—has never been more pressing.
At an event announcing our UK launch, Sarah Jones MP, Minister for Industry, highlighted the urgency of tackling these challenges to ensure a stable power supply, lower costs for consumers, and accelerate the transition to net zero.
With these priorities in focus, we’ve published our latest report, “A New Era for Energy”, exploring how Demand Response 4.0 can play a transformative role in reshaping the UK’s energy system.
Why this report matters
The UK has committed to 95% decarbonised electricity generation by 2030, but achieving this isn’t just about increasing renewable capacity—it demands a smarter, more flexible energy system that can adapt to supply and demand in real time.
Demand Response 4.0 is a next-generation solution that reduces peak energy consumption, stabilises the grid, and lowers costs for consumers. By leveraging real-time technology, it helps create a cleaner, more efficient, and more resilient power system.
What you’ll discover in the report
- How Demand Response 4.0 can cut energy bills – A smarter approach to energy use that empowers households and businesses to save money.
- Why grid flexibility is key to energy security – As the UK integrates more renewables, demand response helps balance supply and demand, reducing the risk of blackouts and infrastructure strain.
- The role of demand response in decarbonisation – How shifting energy use to times when clean power is abundant can accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.
- The policy and investment landscape – Insights into how UK regulations and incentives are shaping the future of demand response solutions.
- Voltalis’ commitment to the UK energy transition – With a £1 billion investment by 2030 and plans to deliver 5 GWp of demand response capacity, Voltalis is actively driving the shift towards a more sustainable energy system.
The time to act is now
As electricity demand rises and pressure mounts on the grid, flexible, intelligent energy solutions like Demand Response 4.0 are no longer optional—they’re essential.
