WHY THIS FLEXIBILITY MARKETPLACES & LOCAL ENERGY MARKETS CHALLENGE?
From bilateral connections to coordinated ecosystems

Traditional point-to-point processes were not designed for an energy system shaped by customers, partners and distributed energy resources acting in near real time. Utilities need a way to connect market signals with physical conditions, operational workflows and authorised data. The challenge is to create that coordination without adding another isolated platform, weakening cyber resilience or removing human accountability where operational and regulatory risk demand it.

主なメリット
Make flexibility operational, not theoretical

A well-governed marketplace can turn fragmented interactions into a repeatable utility capability, linking local supply and demand with the decisions that keep the system reliable, responsive and ready to scale

チェックアイコン
Launch services faster

Use reusable market and integration capabilities to move new flexibility and digital services from concept into controlled operation.

チェックアイコン
Coordinate a wider ecosystem

Bring customers, partners and distributed energy resources into clearer processes supported by shared data and defined permissions.

チェックアイコン
Act with better context

Connect physical and market conditions so operational and commercial teams can respond earlier and with a more complete view.

チェックアイコン
Scale without locking in

Build interoperable capabilities that can extend across sites, asset classes and business units as maturity increases.

NTTデータのサポート体制は?

01
Connect the flexibility ecosystem

Bring authorised operational, asset, enterprise and participant data together through APIs and secure connectivity, creating a dependable foundation for market interactions.

02
Contextualise assets and constraints

Use smart metering, DERMS and data products to relate distributed resources to location, network conditions, customer permissions and operating limits.

03
Orchestrate flexibility

Apply VPP, market platform, analytics and automation capabilities where they can support dispatch, matching and response, while preserving appropriate oversight.

04
Embed decisions in operations

Integrate market outputs into existing enterprise and OT workflows so flexibility becomes part of how teams operate, rather than a separate technology layer.

05
Scale with governance

Define permissions, cyber controls, validation, fallback mechanisms and measurable operational KPIs, then expand from controlled use cases as confidence grows.

実証済みの効果
A clearer path from local flexibility to system value

The capability creates a more continuous connection between physical conditions, market participation and operational decisions. It is designed to reduce fragmentation, improve responsiveness and provide a reusable foundation for distributed-energy services across the utility.

重要な結果
Operational movement that can be measured

By connecting data, platforms and workflows, utilities can create the conditions for faster service delivery, more efficient ecosystem coordination and better-informed action across distributed operations.

チェックアイコン
Shorter operational cycles

Streamline the path from market signal to operational response through connected data and integrated workflows.

チェックアイコン
Less manual coordination

Reduce repeated hand-offs across customers, partners and internal teams by standardising interactions and automating appropriate steps.

チェックアイコン
Faster decisions and responses

Give teams a more timely view of network, asset and market conditions at the point where action is required.

チェックアイコン
Greater visibility across the ecosystem

Create a shared operational picture that supports governance, service quality and progressive scaling.

Where could local flexibility create the most value first?

Bring network, market and customer priorities into one conversation, then shape a controlled path from a focused use case to a scalable flexibility capability.
