We’re piloting an Asset API for Flex Providers to optimise submitting and updating your asset information on Piclo Flex, and would like to invite you to take part! • Currently, Flex Providers submit and update asset information onto Piclo Flex via the Excel Asset File. The Asset File has over 30 fields to submit information on, so we know this process is time-consuming for many. The Asset API allows asset information to be added and updated in Piclo Flex, as an alternative to the Excel file upload method. It can be used to automatically synchronise your own asset database with your asset data in Piclo Flex. • Find out more Need support? Book a 1-1 • If you have any questions, want more information about flexibility competitions, have queries about your assets or how to use Piclo Flex you can get in touch at support@picloflex.com Coming soon: new Flex Provider features • Tools for faster bidding

ESO services such as STOR and new frequency response products are moving to day ahead procurement. Do you expect DSO services to move closer to real time procurement? • Regulations: RIIO-ED2 methodology decision • Piclo Roadmap: Piclo Flex is able to facilitate shorter term procurement when needed, with further optimisations on the platform coming in the next 12 months • Trials: there are already some examples of day-ahead procurement from WPD TSO / DSO coordination: How will the potential conflict between ESO and DSO be managed? • ENA: this topic is being targeted in upcoming workstreams DNOs should identify the optimum combination of longer and shorter term lengths of markets and contract lengths reflecting the network need. Needs should be neutrally defined, to allow for a range of flexibility providers to participate. This will help improve market liquidity and the opportunities for innovation and dynamic competition.”
