Talk of session: Making Demand More Flexible, Balancing the Energy System

In the future electricity system, more flexibility is needed to integrate the increasing feed-in of renewable energies and simultaneously increasing the use of electricity. Making demand more flexible is a crucial pillar of the future electricity supply. By balancing supply and demand, the need for controllable power plants to secure supply can be significantly reduced, while at the same time making better use of weather-dependent generation from PV and wind plants. The flexibility of large industrial consumers could be activated quickly and cost-effectively. The potential of households will increase rapidly in the next few years due to electromobility and the increased use of heat pumps. New players such as storage operators or hydrogen electrolysers will enter the market. How can this flexibility potential be tapped quickly, effectively and efficiently? The session at the EM Power Forum will provide answers to these questions.

Moderator: Bernhard Strohmayer, Head of Renewable Energies, bne - Association of Energy Market Innovators, Germany

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.
