OneNet takeways: insights from demonstrators

Nicolò Rossetto (FSR) interviews José Pablo Chaves Ávila (Comillas) at the margins of the OneNet project final event, which took place in March 2024. During the interview, José Pablo provides the main insights derived from the analysis of the demonstration pilots performed during the project. According to José Pablo, OneNet demos confirmed that “no one-size solution fits all”. Indeed, flexibility markets can be organised in different ways and OneNet tested several of them in the different demos. However, thanks to the OneNet interconnector, it was possible to exchange data among different platforms for different purposes. Among the market design options tested by OneNet, José Pablo mentions specifically bidding formats, bid forwards and flexibility products. Obviously, OneNet could not assess properly all the dimensions of flexibility markets. Customer engagement, for example, will deserve further investigation.
