How the market facilitator is helping shape DNO Primacy in NESO’s Demand Flexibility Service
Summary
Elexon publication on how the Market Facilitator is helping shape DNO Primacy in NESO's Demand Flexibility Service. DNO Primacy is the principle that DNOs have first refusal on flexibility services within their networks before NESO procures them at transmission level.
Why it matters
DNO Primacy is the institutional answer to who procures distribution-level flexibility first. Elexon as Market Facilitator is the coordination layer between DNO procurement and NESO transmission-level needs. The detail of how Primacy works in practice determines whether flexibility providers see one coordinated procurement queue or a fragmented set of separate procurements.
