The ability to reduce, shed, and shift electricity consumption is beneficial to both customers and the electric grid. Recent technology advancements, the ability for DERs to participate in both the retail and the wholesale market, and consumers' growing willingness to give up control of their equipment is strengthening the role of demand flexibility in the clean energy transition. Industry leaders and a utility implementing demand flexibility programs will discuss how demand flexibility is valued in the markets today, which technologies are best suited for providing this flexibility, and how flexibility can be a growing source of revenue for consumers and a reliable economic grid resource.
