Grid Flexibility

Grid flexibility refers to the power grid’s ability to adapt to changes in electricity supply and demand. It enables the system to efficiently balance the amount of electricity generated and used, even when renewable energy sources like wind or sun fluctuate. This flexibility ensures a reliable, stable supply of electricity, supports the integration of renewable energy, and helps prevent outages. It involves various tools and strategies, such as energy storage, demand response (adjusting usage), and flexible power plants, all working together to keep the lights on and the grid resilient.
