Flexibility markets

Flexibility markets are platforms where energy consumers and producers can buy and sell options to adjust their electricity consumption or generation in response to supply and demand fluctuations. They enable real-time or future adjustments to maintain grid stability, reduce costs, and integrate renewable energy sources more effectively. For example, a manufacturer might shift heavy machinery use during off-peak times, or a battery storage operator might supply power during high demand. These markets improve overall energy efficiency, help manage variability, and promote a more sustainable and resilient electrical system.
