Energy Monitor – Network Operator: No Pain, No Gain – Part 2

The volatile feed of renewable electricity into the power grid along with the phase-out of baseload capacity (coal and nuclear) is set to worsen the supply/demand imbalance. Not only will steady power plants help maintain the balance between production and consumption… but integrating flexible capacity from end-consumers can help contribute to system balance and thus to the energy transition. A new market design is needed to enable the energy transition.
