Rethinking flexibility markets: what’s the secret to navigating regulatory challenges and customer needs?

23 Oct 2024

As the energy landscape evolves, rethinking flexibility markets is key to meeting customer needs and decarbonization goals. European electricity networks face challenges like a projected 60% increase in consumption by 2030 and the need to integrate more renewable energy into stronger, more resilient grids. The EU Action Plan for Grids, released to address the clean energy transition, emphasizes modernizing networks for a decentralized, digitalized, and flexible energy system. It promotes smarter grids, better planning, and regulatory incentives for grid efficiency and transparency.

In light of this European direction, how can we effectively revamp flexibility markets to keep pace with recent updates and meet consumer demands?

Aligned with key regulations such as the TEN-E Regulation and the updated Renewable Energy Directive, this plan encourages a revamp of flexibility markets. Building on the discussions at ENLIT 2023, this session will share the latest insights from projects like BeFlexible, STREAM, and ENFLATE, and explore how regulatory changes are shaping flexibility markets, intelligent grids, and active consumer participation.

Join us as we discuss strategies for a more flexible, dynamic, and inclusive energy future!
