Experts from ACER, national regulators, TSOs and DSOs joined to share how Europe can take a flexibility-first approach to grid:
🔹Grid hosting capacity maps to show available grid
🔹Cross-border capacity is key to sharing flexible resources
🔹Smart metering is essential for effective demand response

"Let’s never forget why flexibility is absolutely needed in the first place: to make sure we can maximise the use of the electricity we produce and keep it cheap for the end consumer. Battery storage should be an obvious quick win. - Bruno Tobback, MEP @socialistsanddemocrats.eu @europarl.europa.eu

@solarpowereu.bsky.social had me on their podcast to talk about the EUs upcoming Electrification Action Plan.
I mostly talked about implementing existing legislation, maintaining the 2035 car standards. Plus my favourite idea: a Rural Homes Electrification Mission.
