Joint coalition launches Flexible Demand Accelerator Pledge

Together with a coalition of 12 European business associations and civil society organisations, APPLiA signed the Flexible Demand Accelerator Pledge.

The pledge calls on the European Commission to:

• Embed National Tripartite Dialogues on Flexible Demand in every Member State.
• Ensure all demand-side resources, from homes to factories, can access energy markets on equal terms.
• Align tariffs and incentives with real-time price signals.
• Monitor Member State progress through annual reporting to the Energy Council.

By making demand more flexible, Europe can cut energy waste, reduce costly peak generation and improve grid performance. This is essential to build an energy system that is not only more resilient and affordable but also more energy-efficient and competitive.
