Thus, demand-response solutions are seen by many market specialists as an opportunity to integrate green energy projects with a variable character. And as the energy transition means for Romania the transition from polluting resources, such as coal, to the green energy area, demand-response systems could be one of the solutions to accommodate these new projects.

Gas power plants, as an intermediate fuel, but also investments in the national transport system are other solutions for the entry of green energy.

 

“The production, transport and distribution model, the energy consumption model, all need to be re-analyzed. We need clean energy production, which means flexible networks, ie investments in what we call smart grids. We need consumption adapted to these networks ”
