The event took place in the form of a workshop on Husøy’s energy opportunities as a part of the Sirkulaere Husøy initiative. During the workshop, 40 attendees from universities, research institutions and local businesses had a chance to learn more about the issue of grid bottlenecks, the importance of proper utilisation of the existing grid through flexibility, as well as the potential of flexible local energy communities to contribute towards solving this challenge.
The theoretical assessment of Husøy’s flexibility potential indicates that through the establishment and operation of Flexible Local Energy Community, the businesses in the area can gain up to 50% more energy using the existing grid infrastructure. Such an impressive result is possible through the usage of FlexLEC mechanisms and features such as activity planning, complementary and alternating energy usage, or coordinated flexible assets.
As we are very excited for the further developments, we will provide more updates on the project in the future.
