Leveraging the power of decentralised units
Austria is transitioning towards 100 % renewable energy. This will require harmonising the supply and demand of energy across both time and location. The Green the Flex project set out to aggregate more than 2 500 decentralised units, including electric car charging stations, heat pumps, boilers and energy storage systems. By coordinating their activity, the project achieved an additional capacity of more than 6 megawatts, and a load balancing potential of 5 gigawatt hours.
