2018 smartEn Map: European Balancing Markets

On November 26, 2018, smartEn released its new edition of the smartEn map: balancing markets edition. Opening up balancing markets to demand response and decentralised energy resources, such as storage, allows innovative energy business models to flourish and brings numerous benefits to society. By allowing all technologies and service providers to participate in balancing markets, Europe can avoid the construction of new backup generation capacity by optimally using our existing resources, thus bringing more stability to the grid at a lower price to society.
