Unlocking the full potential of flexibility requires more than technology — it demands the right market structures and regulatory frameworks. This panel explores how policy, regulation, and commercial incentives can accelerate the integration of flexible resources, create value for new and existing technologies, and ensure a reliable, cost-effective renewable energy system. 

Discussion Points: 

How can market design evolve to properly value flexibility services and incentivise both new and existing resources? 

In what ways should policy and regulation adapt to support flexible technologies while maintaining reliability and cost-effectiveness? 

What role do demand-side response, long-duration storage, and commercial innovation play in shaping the energy transition? 

How can regulators and industry collaborate to create predictable, investment-friendly frameworks for flexibility?
