Industry groups welcome move that promises to unlock a new era for clean technologies and flexible grids. A growing number of energy companies are offering so-called time of use tariffs, which see prices change during the day to reflect peaks and troughs in capacity. Market-wide half-hourly settlement is a vital enabler of flexibility.
