What is GENsmart?

A no-cost, no-risk opportunity for public and private organisations to generate regular income by running their standby generator(s) within the National Grid’s STOR scheme.

What is the National Grid STOR scheme?

The National Grid STOR scheme allows companies to receive payments by removing or reducing their load from the National Grid during times of peak power usage when called upon (a ‘despatch’).

This can be done either by reducing your energy power usage during these peak times (effectively removing your energy load from the grid), or more commonly, using your own generator to cover your needs during a ‘despatch’, with the result that it removes your need for power from the grid during that time period. The STOR programme will then pay you for the power that you have ‘removed’ from the grid during the despatches over a monthly period.

See our FAQ page for more information on STOR.

How much power do I have to remove from the grid to be part of the scheme?

To become a STOR partner through our GENsmart scheme you must be able to:

remove a minumum of 100kW from the grid during a despatch period.
respond to a despatch call within a 15-20 minute time frame (although this can be automated).
be available to respond to a despatch within your agreed time period (decided upon during your initial meeting and plan development).

What’s the cost to me?

There is absolutely no cost or ‘catch’ to participating in the GENsmart scheme (dependent on your installation type). All that is required is that you are available to respond to a despatch when called upon at the times within your agreement.
