A flexible grid underpins Europe’s energy transition and helps bring more renewables online. According to statistics from SolarPower Europe, it could also bring big benefits, including saving the European Union €30 billion and avoiding 151 million tonnes of CO2 emissions every year by 2030.

However, to make all of this a reality, Europe’s energy system infrastructure and energy market need to support flexibility.

On this special, live episode of Watt Matters, recorded at the Solar Power Summit in Brussels, a panel of experts joins Kira to discuss flexibility's role in the energy transition and how Europe can improve it.

The panel comprises:

Joachim Balke, head of unit for infrastructure and regional cooperation at the European Commission’s energy department, DG ENER
Juan Fernandez, chief operating officer at international renewable energy producer, Sonnedix
Catarina Augusto, senior grids and flexibility advisor at SolarPower Europe
Sarah Van Cleve, vice president of sales and commercial excellence for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at energy storage company Fluence
