With the proposal for the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), the Commission is setting policy measures to accelerate the renovation rate of buildings and to achieve the vision of a zero-emission building stock by 2050. smartEn welcomes this legislative
This position paper aims to provide smartEn’s position and recommendations on the DSF Network Code, based on the report titled “Roadmap on the Evolution of the Regulatory Framework for Distributed Flexibility” published by the Joint Task Force (JTF) composed of
For years, the primary obstacle to moving toward the clean energy transition and ultimately climate neutrality has been the cost-competitiveness of renewable energy sources. Today, the challenge of the clean energy transition is no longer about the investment costs in
smartEn, the European business association integrating the consumer-driven solutions of the clean energy transition, welcomes the proposals for the ‘Fit for 55’ package to deliver the European Green Deal, adopted by the Commission on 14 July 2021 to show its
smartEn welcomes the Commission’s intention to revise the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) as buildings can significantly contribute to the achievement of the increased EU climate and energy targets in 2030 if their energy performance and carbon footprint is
With an increase of variable RES and the further electrification of the energy system, physical congestions caused by grid constraints will be more common. Redispatching is an alleviating action to reduce these constraints that can be performed by changing the
Across Europe, participants in the electricity system have been changing rapidly. From a one-directional energy flow that went from traditional generation to consumers, to a circular electricity system, where renewable energies, storage, electric vehicles and prosumers now play an active
smartEn published a new position paper with recommendations to properly valorise demand-side flexibility (DSF) in all relevant methodologies and modelling scenarios. Flexible demand and decentralised energy resources (DERs), including distributed renewable generation, demand response, and energy storage, will be crucial
The Electrification Alliance published a joint Position Paper for the Fit for 55 Package, which highlights key asks for the European Commission around the topics of: Carbon pricing and energy taxation, Renewable energy, Energy system efficiency, Electrification of buildings, and
smartEn published its new position paper, Presenting the Value of Flexible Buildings | smartEn Q&A Paper, to explain what flexible or active buildings are and outline the benefits for their occupants, the energy system, and society as a whole.
