Hear how INDEPENDENT is contributing to energy flexibility, digitalisation and decarbonisation across Europe in this EU Energy Projects Podcast episode.

The episode brings together Juho Kivelä from VTT, representing INDEPENDENT, and Joseba Jimeno from the projects GLocalFlex and ELEXIA to explore both the enablers and barriers to a smarter European energy system, from digital infrastructure and market design to cross-sector coupling.

For INDEPENDENT, the focus is on building a robust digital infrastructure for renewable energy optimisation. This includes software modularity and standardised interfaces that enable the seamless integration and automated management of flexible energy resources.

At the core of this work are interoperability, standardisation and reusability, supporting deployment across Europe, while adapting to national, societal and individual contexts within each member state.
