Frequency response
React in milliseconds when grid frequency dips below 50Hz. Your assets can earn payments for every second of support.
The INERTIA platform
Grid balancing,
that pays you.
INERTIA connects homeowners, businesses and installers to the National Grid’s balancing scheme, turning flexible energy assets into a potential revenue stream.

Six ways to support the grid.
AI-driven monitoring, arbitrage and wholesale rates bring a range of balancing services within reach of flexible energy assets.
Negative pricing
When wholesale prices go negative because the grid is oversupplied, INERTIA can automatically curtail or shift your load, turning a grid challenge into an opportunity.
Energy arbitrage
Charge batteries and flexible assets during cheap overnight periods, then dispatch energy when prices peak.
Demand flexibility
Temporarily reduce or reschedule consumption during peak demand events, earning payments for easing grid stress.
Inertia services
Synthetic inertia from batteries and rotating assets helps the grid resist sudden frequency swings as fossil-fuel generation retires.
Capacity Market
Hold capacity in reserve for the grid through multi-year contracts, with guaranteed payments alongside other potential revenue streams.
The process
How grid balancing works.
Store energy when the grid has too much. Release it or shift demand when the grid needs more.
Generate & store
Your solar panels, batteries and other assets generate and store electricity.
Monitor in real time
INERTIA’s AI software monitors the grid continuously and predicts when balancing is needed.
Respond & balance
Stored energy is released or demand is shifted when the grid needs it most.
Get paid
You receive premium payments from NESO for helping balance the grid.
How the revenue is shared
Wholesale rates.
Shared fairly.
The big energy companies have always had access to wholesale rates, while those rates are rarely passed on to asset owners. INERTIA passes them on and shares revenue transparently: the asset owner receives the lion’s share, installers are rewarded for connecting the assets, and INERTIA’s fixed percentage is agreed before you sign. No hidden margins. No profiteering.
You · Asset owner
You receive the majority of all revenue generated by your assets, paid directly and transparently. Your solar panels, batteries and flexible loads do the work, so you should see the reward.
Your installer
The installer who connected your assets earns an ongoing commission for every pound your system generates. We believe in rewarding the people doing the hands-on work, not just the platform in the middle.
INERTIA
INERTIA takes a fixed percentage of the revenue your assets generate, nothing more. Our share is agreed upfront, so you know exactly what you’ll receive before you sign. No hidden charges or inflated margins.
