Why is pan-European flexibility so difficult and what can we do about it?
The role of aggregators has been encouraged by EU regulations to support the growth of flexibility, but pan-European flexibility still appears impractical. This session will identify the impediments to taking an existing business model into new markets, introduce a framework for thinking strategically about the challenges, and determine whether pan-European flexibility is the panacea we are looking for, or whether seeking it will open a Pandora’s Box.
Presented by Jon Ferris from Delta-EE.
