The new local flexibility programmes, such as RomeFlex and Edge, are experimental initiatives created to make the management of local power grids more efficient and sustainable, especially in urban contexts with high consumption density and, therefore, potential stress for distribution.

 

What Is Local Flexibility?

It is the ability to modulate consumption or production of electricity in response to grid requirements, e.g. by shifting consumption to times of lower demand or according to the operational needs of distribution companies. This type of service rewards end-users both for their willingness to participate and for the interventions that actually take place.

RomeFlex

RomeFlex is a project promoted by Areti, the electricity distributor on the Rome grid, which involves businesses and citizens in the provision of flexibility services. Users participate in market auctions to offer their willingness to modulate their consumption or feed energy into the grid and in return, they receive financial compensation for participating and for any modulation of their loads according to the needs of the distributor.

Edge

E-Distribuzione's programme dedicated to industrial customers wishing to enhance their energy flexibility. Companies participate in market mechanisms by modulating consumption and feed-in to the grid, obtaining a fixed remuneration for participation alone and a variable one for any activations. Enel's offer includes specialised technical support, advanced digital platform and optimised aggregation.

MindFlex

Unareti's initiative for commercial and industrial customers on its distribution network. The programme involves users in the intelligent management of their loads by participating in regular auctions that guarantee a fixed remuneration for participation alone and a variable one for any activations. Thanks to this programme, the distributor is able to manage the electricity network on which it operates in a more sustainable manner.
