As renewables take a larger share of the power mix, the need for flexibility in electricity markets has never been greater. But while the technology exists. From batteries and demand response to interconnectors the challenge lies in creating the right market structures and incentives to bring it all together.
Todayâs power markets were designed around centralised fossil generation. For flexibility to scale, they must evolve, ensuring that short-term trading, ancillary services, and long-term contracts all work in harmony. Without that, renewable integration will stall, and the cost of balancing the grid will rise.
In this episode of Transmission, Quentin is joined by Rasmus Rode MosbĂŚk to explore the future of energy trading and flexibility markets. They discuss how market design can enable faster renewable integration, why transparency and liquidity matter, and what lessons can be drawn from other European systems. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:
- Why flexibility is the missing piece in renewable integration.
- How market design shapes investment and innovation in storage.
- The growing role of short-term trading in balancing the grid.
- Lessons from European power markets on flexibility and liquidity.
- Whatâs needed to unlock the full potential of demand-side response.
