Jacopo’s expertise is particularly well-suited for addressing questions associated with demand-side flexibility. The challenge of using energy at different times of the day or the year is shared by Demand Side Response aggregators, energy retailers and system operators. Jacopo’s research can support organisations interested in assessing the potential, impacts and implications of demand-side flexibility analysis on demand-side flexibility. An example of impact generated by Jacopo’s research relates to .
