Acceleration on the delivery of a consumer-centric system
Next to decarbonisation, there is a growing pressure for energy affordability and security for consumers that will require consumers to have access to energy services and unlocking flexibility at large scale.
Recent EU policy and legislation is pushing forward for consumer empowerment and participation of flexibility in electricity markets, putting the focus on implementation at Member State level during the next years.
During this keynote, David Zenner from Elia will provide an update in terms of initiatives and developments it is putting in place in order to deliver a consumer-centric system in the next years.
