Building reserve margins and balancing the grid with scalable demand-side flexibility
With a rapidly growing electricity demand and limited reserve margins, ensuring a secure and reliable energy supply is a major national priority. In partnership with CIE and CI-ENERGIES, Energy Pool launched a pioneering Demand Response (DR) pilot project to unlock consumption-side flexibility and lay the groundwork for large-scale implementation.
