Demand flexibility in the electricity system

The purpose of the project is to develop scenarios for how we support consumption flexibility in the electricity system based on a number of use cases, including with regard to data sharing and regulation.

The green transition requires increased electrification in society, which raises our electricity consumption. At the same time, that electricity should preferably come from renewable energy sources, whose production is more fluctuating and non-controllable by nature. These two drivers increase the demand for flexibility from the consumption side in the electricity system.

The ambition of the project is to identify the potential and benefits of flexibility at both the societal and stakeholder levels, investigate regulation in the area, and examine data-related challenges and data needs.
