    "description": "Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE Networks) wishes to establish a Qualifying Utilities Dynamic Market for Flexibility Services from customers connected within specific Flexibility Zones.  Successful Tenderers will provide NIE Networks with network Flexibility services, the ability to adjust their aggregate electricity generation or consumption in response to an instruction signal during defined Service Windows, to support network operation as required during the contract period.  The initial zones that we will be requiring Flexibility for are: \nFlexibility Managed Zone\t               Year(s) Required\nBallyclare Central    \t                        2026\nOmagh West\t                                        2026-27\nBallyfodrin Central\t                        2027-28\nLurgan East\t                                        2026-28\nNewry South \t                                2026-28\nNIE Networks would like to invite Flexibility Providers to visit the Piclo website www.picloflex.com/dashboard where they can register, add their assets.
