​Session Overview: In this new era in which wind and solar energy sources are becoming increasingly prevalent, the grid needs to become more flexible. Traditionally, flexibility has been provided by the supply side (power generators). Now, the focus of innovation is on the demand side - think energy sharing, virtual power plants, energy data API - at residential, commercial and utility scale. In this Ripple, we will identify and rank the most promising software opportunities in energy flexibility, and explore the startup challenges of breaking into this space.
