A solid assessment and quantification of benefits and potentials offered by demand-side flexibility will stimulate the establishment of market-based mechanisms to activate and reward consumers’ flexibility.
Although ENTSO-E improved its methodology on flexible demand (DSF) in its 2022 ERAA, we regret that ACER did not formulate specific recommendations in its decision and expressed an overall satisfaction in this regard. When assessing potential resource adequacy concerns in the EU, ENTSO-E should adequately take into account the role that Decentralised Energy Resources (DERs) can play.
