The empowerment of consumers is increasingly recognised as a central driver of the energy transition, enabling a cleaner, healthier and cost-effective energy system.
Our report “Mapping Demand Response in Europe Today (2015)”, shows the progress of Member States in enabling “explicit” Demand Response programmes. It reviews the regulatory structures of 16 countries: 14 EU Member States, plus Norway and Switzerland. In order to further support these efforts, it then provides overarching guidelines and technical information on how consumer oriented Demand Response can be unlocked.
We trust that our report will be a valuable tool for policymakers, planners, and practitioners as they grapple with the challenges and opportunities of enabling Demand Response to grow in our energy system.
