The closing ceremony of the InterFlex project took place in Paris on the 28th of November, 2019. It was an opportunity for the InterFlex community and all partners to get together and share the results achieved during the 3 year project duration.

The event gathered more than 100 participants from across the European energy sector. Stakeholders from various backgrounds, including the European Commission, European DSOs, regulators, aggregators, equipment manufacturers and research institutions, shared their thoughts and experiences. They had a vivid discussion on the innovations that may lead the way towards tomorrow’s energy system.
