The Swedish energy regulator has approved standardised definitions for flexibility products. This makes it easier for suppliers and aggregators to optimise customer devices for local grid needs.

A languid spiral galaxy appears draped against deep space in a stunning new image from the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope.
Euclid launched in 2023 on a six-year mission to map the cosmos at scale,
observing billions of galaxies stretching as far away as 10 billion light-years from Earth.
The effort could reveal how galaxies form and evolve and how the universe has expanded over its 13.8-billion-or-so-year history.

These massive arrays of cells can soak up electricity when sources like solar are available and prices are low,
and then discharge power back to the grid when it’s needed most.
Back in 2015, the battery storage industry had installed only a fraction of a gigawatt-hour of battery storage capacity across the US.
That year, it set a seemingly bold target of adding 35 gigawatt-hours by …
