About the session

With the changing nature of generation and consumption, flexibility in the energy network has become a 'must have’ solution. But how what will it take to make it happen, and how can the industry create new business models and foster the innovation required to deliver transition? This session will explore the growing role of storage and demand-side response in facilitating flexibility.
