GLocalFlex develops replicable energy flexibility solutions and services to accelerate the adoption of local flexible energy systems (LES). Its platform enables consumers, producers and operators to participate in accessible energy markets, optimizing energy use and creating cross-sector ecosystems.

The project will demonstrate these solutions on a large scale at six European sites, offering companies innovative technology, operational efficiency and new business opportunities in the energy sector.

 

The growing interest in energy flexibility opens new business opportunities for companies in all sectors. GLocalFlex emerges as an innovative project that develops replicable demand response solutions and services, accelerating the implementation of local flexible energy systems (LES) and fostering accessible energy flexibility markets, where consumers can actively participate.

The project offers viable solutions and interoperable products for all levels of the grid: consumers, producers, retailers, aggregators and energy markets. It is based on selected standards and modular technological tools, ensuring that the systems are flexible both in the use of energy for quality services and in their own evolution: they will allow different equipment, consumers and microgrids to be integrated, upgraded or combined to create intersectoral energy ecosystems.

GLocalFlexwill demonstrate this concept of large-scale flexible energy trading in six strategic locations in Europe, offering companies a unique opportunity to:

  • Access innovative technologies that optimize participation in flexible energy markets.
  • Increase operational efficiency and sustainabilitythrough advanced energy solutions.
  • Explore new business models based on smart and scalable energy services.

In the project, CTIC leads the development and configuration of the software modules needed to successfully implement energy flexibility solutions and services in the Spanish pilot, turning data and technology into competitive advantages for companies in the sector.
