The Future is Flexibility Smart solutions for the building sector decarbonisation and their role in system planning

RGI, with the WHY and PAC projects, partnered for an expert workshop to dive into the flexibility potential of the building sector. Unlocking flexible demand solutions would enable the twin transition to the benefit of local communities.

How can cities and municipalities implement the energy transition? Which tools and innovations are available for smartification and decarbonising at the local level? Does the residential sector have a part to play within this context? What role will flexibility have in considering the electricity grid and the entire energy system?

These are some of the questions we asked experts at the “Future is Flexibility” workshop, in co-organisation with the PAC and WHY projects, and in partnership with Elia Group.

Experts – including European NGOs, TSOs, policymakers and industry representatives – shared their view on the potential of building flexibility to contribute to the energy system decarbonisation. These actors have addressed various enabling solutions from the regulatory, technological and energy system modelling angles.
