The main objective of the BeFlexible project (2022-2026) is to increase the participation of prosumers to increase the flexibility of the electricity system.
BeFlexible will work in four areas: Markets and Regulation, Services Ecosystem, Platforms & Architecture and Customer engagement and social co-creation.
Over its 4-year duration, with 21 partners from 7 European countries, BeFlexible aims to increase the flexibility of the energy system, improve cooperation between Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and facilitate the participation of all energy-related stakeholders. This will be done through the validation and large-scale demonstration of adapted and proven cross-sectoral services, interoperable data exchange platforms for smart grids operation and the creation of the required system architecture framework that will enable the creation of new business models providing additional value to meet consumers’ needs in compliance with a stable regulatory framework.

The different services, platforms and architectures used during the BeFlexible project will be demonstrated and validated through 12 pilots to be carried out in 4 different countries (Italy, Sweden, Spain and France), all of them with different environments, types of consumers, geographic and climatic zones and energy loads.
The different pilots are located in 3 different demos structured by climatic areas (South-Mid EU, North EUand South-West EU) covering EU’s different representative climates.
Project focus:
- Increase energy system flexibility by demonstrating cross-sectoral services and interoperable platforms for smart grid operation.
Role of the Social Innovation team:
- Support the development of value propositions and lead engagement strategies that ease the participation of Flexibility Service Providers (FSPs) and flexumers in the energy market, with particular focus on pilot activities in Sweden.
