New EDNA report on plug-in batteries
July 6, 2026
EDNA has published a new report “Plug-In Battery Energy Storage Systems” providing market insights and insights on opportunities and challenges.
EDNA provides analysis and policy guidance to members and other governments aimed at improving the energy efficiency and demand flexibility of connected devices and networks.
In 2024 EDNA changed its name to reflect an increased focus on ‘demand flexible networked appliances’. These large household appliances can empower consumers and are able to react to requirements from the grid, for example to increase or decrease power consumption in response to renewable energy generation patterns, or to react to local power system constraints.
EDNA will continue its current work on the energy efficiency of data centres, and as required over time, may choose to undertake further work on the energy efficiency of connected devices themselves, as well as other related topics as they arise.

A new based on reasearch by Oeko-Institut Consult GmbH presents an assessment the flexibility potential of data centres and analyses challenges and opportunities for using that potential.
The IEA’s Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative, and the 4E EDNA Platform are co-organising a webinar to explore how new approaches and technologies to unlock demand-side flexibility at scale to support secure, efficient, and decarbonised power systems.
This report provides an overview of plug-in battery energy storage systems (plug-in BESS) highlighting opportunities and challenges.

Liquid Cooling in Data Centres maps liquid cooling technologies, analyses challenges and opportunities in implementation and the impact that liquid cooling can have on data centre energy efficiency.
During its new term (2024 to 2029) EDNA will further increase its focus on demand flexible networked appliances. These appliances, empowering consumers, are able to react to requirements from the grid, for example to increase or decrease power consumption in response to renewable energy generation patterns, or to react to local demand constraints. Having such appliances installed is crucial to a net zero energy grid – their potential to reduce the requirement for expensive energy storage is substantial.
