Electricity 2026 Flexibility
…cost-effective integration of generation, load and storage technologies that characterise this new era.Last year’s report, Electricity 2025, focused on measures to enhance flexibility on the supply side of electricity markets by reducing the various technical, regulatory or contractual inflexibilities affecting generation. This year, we focus on demand-side applications for providing and improving flexibility. In addition, we have updated our analysis on supply side flexibility to include further examination of falling “capture rates” for solar and wind generation and the spectacular growth of battery storage systems amid declining costs in various markets.Finally, markets with high shares…

Indicators Handbook for Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions Key findings from workshops on challenges and opportunities for tracking progress on just and inclusive energy transitions
…in their energy programmes, maximising equity and beneficial outcomes for all parties. Additionally, disaggregated indicators can help reveal distributional effects, highlighting population segments that may benefit from energy transitions as well as those that may bear unintended burdens.Integrating qualitative indicators with quantitative metrics is key to fully capture lived experiences and understand real impacts in communities.Key dimensions of just transitions, such as active stakeholder engagement, or women’s sense of empowerment and increased agency, cannot be captured by numbers alone. They often require qualitative data collection approaches, such as perception surveys, interviews or participatory methods. These methods can…
