Advancements in Residential Energy Flexibility and Market Collaboration

The talk discusses the growing importance of residential flexibility in the energy market, particularly in relation to electric vehicles (EVs) and solar energy. It highlights the challenges in utilizing solar energy effectively, despite favorable weather conditions, and the necessity for collaboration within a comprehensive ecosystem to achieve meaningful flexibility. Current market dynamics reflect a significant rise in partnerships, driven by the need for monetizing assets, which is crucial for navigating complexities in various European energy markets. With approximately 13 gigawatts of domestic flexibility actively participating in wholesale markets, residential flexibility—termed 'Resiflex'—has transitioned to a commercially viable stage. Countries like Belgium and France are enhancing market accessibility for independent aggregators, promoting competition that can yield more options for consumers. The recent surge in negative pricing underscores the critical role of partnerships in optimizing flexibility and generating value from domestic energy assets. Overall, the landscape is evolving toward greater scalability and increased value opportunities for all market participants.

Talk of session: Smart Solar and Prosumers: Electrification Strategies for Households and Businesses

Rooftop solar remains a key pillar of Europe's energy transition, helping households and SMEs hedge price volatility and maximize self-consumption. With electrification spreading to the heating and mobility sectors, there is a drive towards distributed PV combined with batteries, EV chargers and smart energy system management tools. Despite a decline in rooftop capacities last year, plug-in solar is attracting new customer segments, and more aggregator solutions are starting to unlockflexibility benefits. This session explores how digitalization and new business models are reshaping prosumer's solar+ strategies in an energy system that is becoming increasingly electrified. Key topics: Policy and regulatory drivers of building-applied solar energy The latest electrification strategies for homes and businesses Overview of technical solutions and business models for turning self-consumption into grid-supporting flexibility
