At the recent Enlit Europe conference, a panel discussion highlighted the pressing need for securing system flexibility and dispatchable capacity in light of increasing electrification and renewables integration across Europe. Panelists emphasized the practical strategies required to address the evolving energy landscape. Tilman Bechthold from RWE Power AG advocated for a pragmatic approach, considering the dynamic nature of the energy demand trajectory. The discussion highlighted the significance of a diverse energy mix including natural gas, nuclear, biomass, hydropower, and even hydrogen. Louis Strydom of Wärtsilä stressed the importance of investing in the right technologies at the right time for achieving dispatchable power. Charlotte Johnson from Kraken brought attention to the vital role of consumer flexibility in the energy transition towards net zero emissions. The panel also delved into the role of capacity markets, acknowledging their importance while suggesting the need for improvements to incentivize real flexibility and low-carbon assets. The discussion extended to market design flaws and the necessity of granular settlement periods to drive optimal energy generation and consumption. Furthermore, the conversation highlighted the need for managing consumer assets effectively to enhance system flexibility. The insights shared at the event underscored the complex challenges and opportunities in the energy sector's transition towards a more sustainable and flexible future.
