04 Opportunities of 昀氀exible consumption
International benchmark: Lessons from advanced markets
Several countries are moving decisively to
unlock consumer-side 昀氀exibility, o昀昀ering
valuable insights for France.
The United Kingdom: The UK has built an
advanced framework for residential 昀氀exibility.
Nearly universal smart meter deployment,
along with the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)
and the Capacity Market, allows households
and aggregators to access grid services. DSOs
have also launched local 昀氀exibility markets to
monetize demand-side resources.
Germany: Germany has been a pioneer in
integrating decentralized energy systems,
particularly hybrid PV + storage installations.
Ongoing reforms aim to align grid tari昀昀s with
time-based energy value, encouraging o昀昀peak consumption. Flexibility is also promoted
to ease congestion in high-renewable zones.
The Netherlands: The Dutch government has
embraced digitalization and administrative
simpli昀椀cation through tools like the "All-inOne Permit" - a uni昀椀ed platform designed to
fast-track the approval of distributed energy
projects. Combined with dynamic tari昀昀s and
demand response pilots, this approach
supports rapid rollout of consumer 昀氀exibility.
USA: Under FERC Order No. 2222, distributed
energy resources (DERs) - including storage,
demand response, and solar-plus-storage - can
participate directly in wholesale markets
across several U.S. regional transmission
organizations (RTOs). Programs like
SolarAPP+ streamline permitting for rooftop
solar and storage, while Time-of-Use (TOU)
pricing and demand 昀氀exibility programs have
been widely adopted by utilities in states such
as California, Texas, and New York.

installations.Ó
