Power system decarbonization is one of the most important pillars for achieving net zero ambitions and accelerating the energy transition journey.This session focuses on the key roles that digitalization plays in accelerating the realization of decarbonization and energy transition ambitions and will showcase how grid digitalization tackles challenges such as the integration of more renewables at different grid voltage levels, heat and transport electrification, and the more "weather-dependent" grid. Additionally, light will be shed on technologies enabling grid digital transformation and on effective digital transformation strategies to realize value for the system.

Panel Discussion: Distributed Energy Resources & Consumer Empowering

Wednesday, June 14, 2023, 09:00 am - 10:30 am

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.

Industrial and commercial flexibility is no longer experimental - it is becoming a core part of network operation and market participation. Across Europe, DSOs, transmission system operators (TSOs), aggregators and retailers are moving from isolated pilots to coordinated programs that avoid grid upgrades and deliver real capacity and financial value for all participants.This session focuses on the operational integration of C&I flexibility into routine grid workflows through dispatch, settlement, verification and commercial models. It highlights how flexibility is embedded in daily operations: from automated dispatch and verification tools to new contractual models that reward large energy users for adapting consumption. You will gain insight into replicable approaches for scaling flex portfolios, integrating them into control-room workflows and ensuring fair value-sharing across utilities, service providers and industrial consumers.
