Grids & Energy Systems

The 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) approach aims at establishing a voluntary demand decarbonisation framework by matching in an hourly basis renewable energy generation with electricity demand on the local grid. To its implementation, flexibility is crucial, helping to mitigate variability and uncertainty.

Learn more about the correlation between the 24/7 CFE approach and energy system flexibility in our Factsheet, based on the insights from “Balancing Connections: Introduction to flexibility in a renewables-based energy system“, one of our sessions of the “Connecting Energies 2024: Civil Society Training Series”.
