Public Consultation on the Design Note Consumer Centric Market Design

Context

The future will be defined by a rapid increase in renewables and a huge electrification of industrial and residential appliances, both driven by the energy transition and the current energy crisis. 

In this regard, ELIA calls for an optimized market design, the Consumer-Centric Market Design ("CCMD"), dealing with this significant challenge in terms of integration into the system. Furthermore, the ELIA Adequacy Flex Study 2021 clearly identifies the growing needs for flexibility to manage the intermittency of renewable energy sources and to deal with the electrification of many residential and industrial appliances.

ELIA is convinced that the keys to unleash further flexibility consist in giving an active role to the consumer, at all voltage levels while keeping its participation seamless, and in providing easy-access to digital platforms to support Energy Service Providers in the development of (new) energy services for the consumer.
