OUR EVENTS

DR4EU organise workshops and events to share views on the implementation of Demand Response participation in all electricity markets.


Since 2022, we’ve had a new series of workshops to hear and share experience with key policy makers and stakeholders at national level, country per country: what is the state of play regarding DR, and which are the upcoming evolutions.

Through this online workshop series, we explore demand response across Europe, hearing from national policymakers and stakeholders to share insights and experiences.

2021 Workshops: 
Takeaways from the Clean Energy Package

We organised jointly a series of brief workshops in 2021 to share views on the implementation of the European legislation set to allow demand response participation in all electricity markets – and further feedback on practical experience by various stakeholders.

This Brussels workshop brought together 130 participants from 18 countries to discuss policy progress on the Clean Energy Package and its ongoing implementation.

On May 6th, 2021, we organised our first joint event with EER on the Benefits of Demand Response for Electricity Retailers and Consumers. We welcomed a keynote from CEER and introduction from EC / DG ENER with 100 participants from 22 countries.

In terms of physics, having DR participate in wholesale electricity markets is necessary to ensure it matches the needs of flexibility entailed by a wide use of renewables: you need GWs of DR to balance the intermittency of GWs of renewables.
