SolarPower Europe, the Brussels-based association, invited public officials and sector leaders to attend the EU Flexibility Strategy Day. The gathering is meant to examine how system flexibility can enhance renewable integration throughout Europe’s broader power network. The discussions aligned with a position paper promoting flexibility-first grid planning, wider demand response, and scaled battery storage deployment. Speakers highlighted electrification pressures and stressed that resilience frameworks such as the Grids Package must evolve accordingly. Roundtables underscored decentralised generation needs, cross-border capacity value, and the persistent barrier posed by grid connection delays. Participants agreed that tariff reform, digital tools, and substantial battery storage growth are essential to support long-term renewable expansion.
