The flexibility we need is already inside people's homes
Britain is building more clean power, but we still waste flexible capacity inside people's homes. ChargeSync is not asking for subsidy, only that household optimisation is recognised as part of the flexibility system.
The gap
A battery on a fixed timer is not a flexibility asset. It's just hardware waiting for better instructions.
The fix
Behind-the-meter optimisation turns household equipment into useful infrastructure, charging when clean power is abundant, avoiding expensive peaks, reducing curtailment and lowering bills for families.
What you get
Flexibility put to work
Turns existing home batteries, solar, EVs and heat pumps into responsive, bill-cutting infrastructure.
Household-first & durable
Flexibility scales only if households trust it. Lowering the owner's bill first is the politically durable model.
Consumer protection by structure
A published savings methodology, a vulnerable-customer policy enforced inside the optimiser, and a customer-data-on-insolvency commitment, the direct answer to the 
lesson: hardware never bricks, data escrowed, 90-day export.
A UK growth opportunity
Skilled software and energy-analytics jobs, and an export-ready capability as other markets electrify.
Not subsidy, recognition
Market access
Ensure flexibility-market rules don't exclude behind-the-meter household assets aggregated through independent optimisers.
Metering & data standards
Let households share consumption and flexibility data securely with the optimiser of their choice.
Planning & building guidance
Reference intelligent energy management, not just static panels and batteries, in new-build and retrofit guidance.
More than shaving the evening peak
Coordinated household flexibility supports the grid at several points at once: the cheapest flexible megawatt, network reinforcement deferred, surplus renewables absorbed rather than curtailed, and peaking gas fired less often. We're honest about the limits, too. Short-duration home batteries shift and shave demand. Through a still, dark winter spell they complement firm low-carbon capacity; they don't replace it.

Recognise household flexibility
None of this needs subsidy, it needs the rules to see what's already on people's walls and driveways. Recognise household flexibility, and let it work for billpayers and the grid alike.
