Demand-side Flexibility

Unlocking the True Potential of a Smarter, Flexible Energy System

Europe’s energy future depends not only on how we generate electricity - but how intelligently we use it.

At the heart of this evolution is flexibility: the ability to balance demand and supply dynamically, integrate higher shares of renewables, and lower system costs. The Flexibility Zone, powered by smartEn, is where solution providers converge to accelerate this transformation — by turning every building, vehicle, and device into an active participant in the energy system.

Spaces are limited – secure your stand today.

What we discuss at Enlit Europe

The Flexibility Markets: Status Update session during Enlit Europe 2024 took a critical look at flexibility market developments from a financial, regulatory and technical systems perspective.
The System Flexibility Strategies session explored flexibility solutions that we can already deploy, and what do we need to unlock them further.
