New white paper: Flexibility Platforms

As smaller organisations and end-users increasingly seek opportunities to valorise their flexibility, and the demand for flexibility to solve grid problems grows, there is greater focus on flexibility platforms. These offer the opportunity to integrate markets and products to better facilitate and coordinate the trade, dispatch and/or settlement of demand side flexibility.

This paper introduces and describes various existing and emerging flexibility platforms, assesses the benefits of different platform types and describes their relationship, and development potential, with USEF.

Their goal: to accelerate the establishment of an integrated smart energy system which benefits all stakeholders, from energy companies to consumers.
