Barriers for demand response participation in electricity markets and State aid support
|
The European Commission is conducting a study to identify barriers for the participation of Demand Response to wholesale electricity markets and State Aid mechanisms in the EU27 Member States. The focus of the study is on the so-called explicit demand response, i.e., demand response services provided by consumption units directly competing with other technologies in wholesale electricity markets and SA mechanisms, either individually or through aggregators.
As part of the study, a survey is offered to collect opinions from stakeholders with respect to a number of topics.
