Dutch energy regulator ACM publishes an overview of measures to reduce grid congestion in the country .

It lists all current and planned measures the regulator is involved in, such as non-firm capacity contracts and time-of-use network tariffs.

Bravissimo Italy!

This map shows, for 17,600 fuel stations, the possibility of connecting to the grid, providing developers with valuable information at a glance on the feasibility, timing and costs associated with installing different types of #EV chargers at these locations.

Starting January 2024, new residential heat pumps and EV charging points in Germany will need to be able to temporarily reduce on a grid operator's signal. Consumers benefit from quicker connection times (instant approval) and reduced grid fees.

Last month, two EU agencies (ACER, the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, and EEA, the European Environment Agency) published this joint report looking at what countries should do to increase flexibility and resilience in the energy system: flexibility from all resources, large and small, and better interconnection for more cross-border flexibility.

#grids #Flexibility #DemandResponse

Increasingly flexible energy production and consumption requires distribution system operators to look for new tools to manage their networks.
Market-based procurement of distributed flexibility facilitates a granular response to grid needs. The Portuguese DSO E-REDES has now launched its first call for a flexibility auction in 8 regions, open to many: specifically including residential customers and charge point operators.
