Talk of session: Demand-Side Flexibility in Action: Best Practices from the Flexible Demand Management Industry

Demand-side flexibility is rapidly emerging as a cornerstone of a resilient, renewable-ready electricity system-and the central focus of the Flexible Demand Management Industry (FDMI), which is dedicated to unlocking, optimising, and valuing flexible demand.This session will bring together four speakers representing key segments of the FDMI to showcase concrete projects and real-world case studies demonstrating how demand-side flexibility is already being deployed in practice. Participants will gain insights into successful implementations-from enabling consumers and businesses to actively manage their energy use, to supporting peak load management, balancing services, and the integration of renewable energy. By highlighting practical experiences across different technologies, markets, and regulatory contexts, the session will illustrate how collaboration between technology providers, market actors, and policymakers can accelerate the deployment of demand-side flexibility. These examples will showcase the tangible benefits flexibility can deliver for the electricity system, businesses, and consumers.The session will conclude with an open Q&A, inviting participants to engage directly with the presenters on the lessons learned, challenges encountered,and policy needs shaping the future of demand-side flexibility.
