The Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) has published its report titled “Further Development of Grid Congestion Management: Results and Assessment of the Stakeholder Dialogue on Grid Flexibility.” Among other things, it highlights the study on complementary hybrid redispatch developed by TransnetBW GmbH, TenneT TSO GmbH, Amprion GmbH, E.ON, and us, reaching the following conclusion:

“With the complementary hybrid redispatch, TransnetBW, TenneT TSO, Amprion, E.ON, and E-Bridge have presented a detailed concept for the grid-oriented use of flexible consumers. A significant next step for testing the concept is the implementation of a large-scale pilot project.”

dena emphasizes that the approaches developed are not only innovative but also compatible with other solutions under discussion. An ambitious approach in the next legislative period will be crucial to unlocking this potential.

Why this is important:

  • Flexible consumers such as electric vehicles, heat pumps, and battery storage are key to cost-efficiently reducing grid congestion and advancing the energy transition.
  • They can decrease reliance on conventional redispatch options and make the integration of renewable energy more efficient.

We look forward to shaping the next steps and contributing our expertise to the implementation!
