EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)’s Post

📣 Open call for experts to join ACER’s new Expert Group on #EU-wide #flexibility needs assessment. 🙋🙋♂️ ACER is establishing an Expert Group to assess flexibility needs in the #EUelectricity system. We are looking for professionals with expertise in power #MarketModelling, #EnergyMarkets, #EnergySystems, #EnergyEconomics, #EnergyPolicy and #EnergyRegulations. 📩 The deadline for applications is 10 February 2025. 🧐 What will be the Expert Group’s focus? 🍃 Due to the massive ramp up of #RenewableEnergy, the EU’s #power system #flexibility needs are expected to double by 2030. 📜 The Electricity Market Design Regulation (2024) mandates ACER to conduct a pan-European flexibility needs assessment, to be published in July 2027. The assessment will evaluate the EU’s #electricity system’s ability to adapt to fluctuating demand and generation, cost-effectively integrate variable #renewables, and ensure #SecurityOfSupply. 💡 The Expert Group, which will operate until April 2027, will support ACER in the development of a robust #AnalyticalTool for this assessment and provide insights on: 👉 #modelling techniques and their implementation; 👉 solutions to simulate and quantify the flexibility needs of the system; and 👉 other key topics related to improving system flexibility. 🔗 Read more and apply: https://lnkd.in/daWe5Faa 🔗 See the open letter: https://lnkd.in/dkqhk2r2
