The IEA’s Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative, the IEA 4E TCP Efficient, Demand Flexible Networked Appliances (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.

As energy systems evolve to accommodate higher shares of variable renewable energy, demand-side flexibility is becoming a cornerstone of modern grid management. The need is becoming more urgent: electricity demand is rising globally as heating, transport, and industry electrify, placing unprecedented strain on distribution networks and reinforcing the case for demand-side solutions that defer or avoid costly grid infrastructure upgrades. This webinar will explore aspects which could enable scaling of more flexible demand and improved systems efficiency. The session with present new findings with recent EDNA research, case studies, market and technology insights on demand flexibility protocols; plug-in battery energy storage systems (balcony storage); and data centres and flexibility.
