New politics. A new Europe. / An ambitious climate agenda for Europe

Promote functional and efficient renewable energy systems

  • Leverage the flexibility on the demand side by promoting the necessary technical solutions (digital monitoring and control systems) and business models (e.g. aggregation-based models such as virtual power plants).

  • Deploy storage solutions for leveraging short-term (intraday) to long-term (seasonal) flexibility.

  • Promote smart planning and operation of infrastructure for improving the connectivity between generation and consumption hubs, thus leveraging the flexibility of a large interconnected system.

The 5+1 challenges

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 Challenges?

The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.

The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
