The IndustRE project is working on business models where the electricity demand flexibility of industry can be used to lower their costs, while supporting variable renewable energy integration. There is an on-line questionnaire as part of an on-going consultation where relevant stakeholders can give their input to the proposed business models. The results will be discussed on a workshop in Brussels on the 27 of October.
The 28th Electricity Regulatory Forum (Florence Forum) happened during the 4th and 5th of June 2015 and aimed to discuss the Energy Union initiative and the implementation of the latest round of EU energy market legislation, namely the third energy package. Topics addressed included the Network Codes and Guidelines elaboration and especially for the IndustRE project, the challenges for market operation and integration of renewables.
An open letter signed by a wide range of actors from Europe's energy sector giving full support for the Energy Union action. The letter is targeted to the European Commission and it emphasises how flexible energy markets are essential to further energy policy in order to develop a new electricity market design.
