@alanchanguk I don't understand this post. Retailers are not permitted to run distribution infrastructure under GB regulations.

The government's AI grid review doesn't stop at safety. Its second core recommendation says AI flexibility benefits should reach consumers, backed by 8 more recommendations, down to exploring a publicly owned aggregator for schools and hospitals.

Ofgem's answer to a grid queue that exploded from 41GW to 125GW in 8 months: a commitment fee of up to £712,500/MW, forfeited if you bail early. I've watched renewables and private wire lose out to this exact kind of speculative queue-filling for years. https://t.co/jjJ7FgShmU

Lucy Yu flagged AI gaming the UK's flexibility market: inflating usage before a demand event, then cashing in on the drop. If you're writing a flexibility product or private wire tariff, I'd write it for an optimiser hunting the gap, not a homeowner.
