Demand-side flexibility is essential for an energy system, with an increasing number of decentralized and renewable energy resources. Both the energy system and society in general rely on consumers who adapt their energy consumption to the available grid capacity. Digitalization and new technologies such as smart meters and market-based solutions are turning consumers into active players. So how could demand-side flexibility be incentiviced and what could flexibility marketing look like in different sectors? And which role do home batteries and the aggregation of small producers and consumers play? Kieron Stopforth, Senior Manager at Octopus Energy Group reveals that and more.
