Abstract
The Cornwall Local Energy Market was a four year trial (2016-2020) jointly funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Centrica. The aim was to unlock network capacity through intelligent management of supply and demand in constrained areas of the distribution network in Cornwall. This was achieved by installing a range of renewable and storage devices in homes and businesses and setting up an online trading platform to allow the Distribution Network Operator to purchase flexibility services from participants.
