New update 2018: Flexibility Value Chain

While it is widely acknowledged that there is an increasingly urgent need to introduce demand side flexibility in the energy system, questions remain about how to do it, where to do it, who should do it, and how participation should be remunerated.

Organisation

USEF was founded by seven key players, active across the smart energy industry. Their goal: to accelerate the establishment of an integrated smart energy system which benefits all stakeholders, from energy companies to consumers. The foundation is no longer active, yet USEF’s work is still available for referencing.
