Goals / Remit
The SEDC is the European industry association dedicated to making the demand side a smart and interactive part of the energy value chain.
Our focus is to promote demand-centred programs within the areas of Demand Response, energy usage feedback and information, smart home, in-home and in-building automation that form the heart of the Smart Grid.
Our vision is a strong participation of the demand side in the European electricity markets, which will lead to the long-term goals of the Smart Grid: affordability, security of supply and reduced carbon emissions.
We focus our efforts in five areas:
- Interact with policymakers on behalf of the Demand Side Program industry
- Intelligence and information gathering for SEDC Members
- Giving members of the SEDC greater visibility
- Working with trade, financial and general media to raise awareness of Demand Response, feedback, smart home, etc.
- Providing opportunities for networking and partnering among demand side programme and smart grid companiesMain EU files targeted
The SEDC focused its efforts on electricity market rules regarding the use of demand-side flexibility. Recent files include:
- New electricity market design reform
- Position papers on electricity market design: price signals; monitoring demand response uptake; demand response at DSO level, etc...
- Network Codes: ESC GC; SG EBNC
- Participation in Smart Grid Taskforce EG3;
