How can Aggregators Improve the TSO-DSO-Customer Coordination in Digitalised Power Systems? – Discussion Paper and Policy Brief
Utilizing untapped Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) potential from customers in the distribution grid necessitates TSO-DSO-Customer coordination. Customers still face challenges how to manage and market their flexibility in the energy market and how they can become active customers. Aggregators can facilitate these flexibilities as an intermediary by providing services to different power systems participants.
Summary of regulatory activities and conclusions of the FlexPlan project
The FlexPlan Horizon 2020 project aimed at establishing a new grid-planning methodology which considers the opportunity to introduce new storage and flexibility resources in electricity transmission and distribution grids as an alternative to building new grid elements, in accordance with the intentions of the Clean Energy for all Europeans regulatory package of the European Commission.
Energy communities’ impact on grids – Energy community embedment increasing grid flexibility and flourishing electricity markets
The new role of energy communities represents both an opportunity and a challenge for DSOs and, consequently, for TSOs. They can unlock active consumers' flexibility potential and more effectively integrate distributed renewable resources and new technologies, such as rooftop photovoltaic facilities, electric vehicles or batteries, etc. In contrast, energy communities must fulfil all related duties and responsibilities when acting as suppliers, active customers or any other existing market role. They must act on equal terms with other market players.

Workshop: 2024 – The Year of the Grid National priorities and programmes in smart grids; How can they lead to a global pledge on grid development
Russ, the ISGAN Vice Chair, kicked off the meeting, marking the 2nd edition of this workshop. It follows the successful inaugural event in Berlin during ExCo25, where representatives from various nations shared their current and future smart grid priorities and programs. Russ highlighted key events like CEM15 and COP28, underlining the meeting's focus on global targets. Notably, over 100 countries signed two pledges post-COP28, aiming to triple global renewables and establish targets for battery storage, grids, and flexibility.
