Guiding Principles to Develop an EU Methodology to Assess Flexibility Needs
New legal provisions in the energy market design regulation reform have been introduced requiring Member States to carry out an Assessment of Flexibility Needs (AFN) with a 5 to 10-year look-ahead. Therein, MSs will analyse the contribution of various flexibility sources in meeting the defined needs. All Member States will implement the same EU methodology to produce an AFN report and interpret these results to set a non-fossil flexibility target and sub-targets for energy storage and demand response. ENTSOE and EU DSO are assigned the task of developing the methodology.
It is key for stakeholders to be consulted on the methodology's development. This EASE position paper on guiding principles to develop an AFN methodology aims to ensure that energy storage technologies are properly taken into account in the methodology.
