Overview
The Flexibility Tracker Report by Enerdata provides a deep-dive comparative analysis of power system flexibility across the UK, France, and Germany. As European grids integrate higher shares of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE), this report identifies critical revenue streams—including Redispatch 2.0, Capacity Mechanisms, and Frequency Reserves—essential for TSOs and DSOs. By mapping the regulatory landscape and market sizes in M€, Enerdata offers actionable intelligence on how demand response, battery storage, and distributed energy resources (DER) are remunerated within evolving European market designs.
Power system flexibility refers to the ability of an electricity system to provide upward and downward power adjustments to balance supply and demand. It covers a wide portfolio of practices and technologies – from conventional thermal and hydro plants to batteries, demand response, electric vehicles, prosumers, and green gases – with the goal of optimising overall system costs while integrating a growing share of variable renewable energy sources.
- Flexibility markets are closely tied to regulation and market design, which vary significantly from one country to another. In Europe, several regulatory changes are underway, expanding the role of demand response, storage, and distributed energy resources in both wholesale energy markets and ancillary service markets.
- The Flexibility Tracker Report reviews the structure of flexibility markets in three key European countries – Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. For each country, it details the local ecosystems (TSOs, DSOs, regulators, utilities, and aggregators), the available market mechanisms, the eligible assets, the main legislative texts, and the associated remunerations and yearly market sizes.
- Indicative top revenue streams identified are: in Germany, Redispatch 2.0, Netzreserve and frequency reserves; in France, the Capacity Mechanism, the Low-Carbon Flexibility Tender, and the frequency reserves; and in the United Kingdom, the Network Constraint Management, the Capacity Market, and also the frequency reserves.
Main sections are:
- Introduction to Flexibility
- Global Electricity markets overview
- Focus on German, French, and British flexibility markets
The report is intended as a working reference for market participants, regulators, and analysts looking to compare flexibility frameworks across Germany, France, and the UK. It can be complemented by custom analyses on specific countries, regulations, asset portfolios, or revenue streams.
Key Features
