"I am happy to share smartEn vision and look forward to pushing the energy transition forward, together with smartEn members and all other like-minded associations and political actors."

"It is a priority for smartEn to demonstrate the benefits of active buildings, their vital contribution to system efficiency and how the inclusion of distributed energy assets should be central to the Fit for 55 package"

Simon Anderson
Chief Executive Officer, The Traxis Group

"smartEn is the thought leader on demand-side flexibility, electricity markets frameworks and digital technologies to make the power system greener, affordable, and resilient. This stems from the diversity of its members, experts from international corporations to start-ups, and from the catalyst role of the secretariat in structuring positions. The results are high-quality reports and deep insights on the European energy transition"

Xavier Moreau

"smartEn plays a crucial role in shaping recommendations to facilitate Prosumer data exchanges, enlarge the Energy system data transparency as well as develop the needed Cybersecurity framework for aggregators."

Laurent Schmitt
Head of Utilities & European Developments, dcbel

"Efficient use of demand-side flexibility is obviously a good idea, and essential if we are to achieve cost-effective decarbonisation of the power system. In Europe, after many years of effort, including a great deal of input from smartEn, the high-level policy framework reflects this."

Paul Troughton
Senior Director of Regulatory Affairs, Enel X

"The increase in clean electrification and distributed energy resources to achieve the EU decarbonisation targets will bring new challenges to the stability of the grid. Building more capacity to address these challenges is expensive, slow, and it can result in future stranded assets. For this reason, smartEn and its Markets Committee work on advancing system efficiency, encouraging flexibility providers and system operators to work together in creating transparent and effective flexibility markets."

Dirk Kaisers
Energy Transition Expert | Segment Leader Distributed Energy Management EMEA, Eaton
