Survey on Flexibility Market Implementation and Development

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, alongside growing policy support for decarbonization and decentralized energy systems, has heightened interest in local flexibility markets across Europe. Within the framework of the EU’s Clean Energy Package—particularly Directive (EU) 2019/944 and Regulation (EU) 2019/943—Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are encouraged to explore flexible solutions at the local level to efficiently manage their networks and maintain grid stability.

Case Studies of Data and Digitalisation as an Enabler for Energy Flexibility

This data and digitalisation case studies collection was prepared by the Energy Systems Catapult UK on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), UK, under the ISGAN Working Group 9 Task on Interoperability. Energy Systems Catapult acts as the UK Alternate Delegate for ISGAN and manages Working Group 9 on behalf of DESNZ.

Integrating Flexible Resources into Distribution Network Planning

This brochure presents the insights gathered as part of the ISGAN WG9 Task, drawn from stakeholder engagements with representatives from Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, and Spain.

Our Work

ISGAN emphasizes the importance of strong, reliable, resilient, flexible, and affordable power grids, supported by the digitalization of the electricity system for achievement of goals on the “grid edge” (e.g., integration of EVs, RE, energy storage, and demand side management)
