As the @BMWK considers continuing the subsidization of #energy prices; back in the real world power prices in #Germany will be zero for a large part of the weekend, as they are every second weekend. 
Meanwhile in the #netherlands today you can be paid EUR100/MWh to take power…
#spain will also have zero power prices as it did yesterday
Even #France which has had massive problems with its #nuclear fleet will have zero prices this weekend…
What we need to do is embrace #flexibility and change the way we think about electricity. We need to enable demand to follow the changing weather and thus supply…We need to enable #storage in the system
This requires massive changes in regulation including #smartmeter rollouts, changes in how energy pricing works, reduction in unnecessary bureaucracy, change in thinking by heavy industry.
#Flexibility is a state of mind: it implies the readiness to abandon old ways of thinking and embrace new ones; for instance, by creating new market mechanisms that enable technologies such as batteries, hydrogen, and vehicle to grid to be effectively used.
#Flexibility is about the ability, supported by technologies, of participants to dynamically interact among themselves to maximize resources, minimize costs, as well as increasing resilience, energy security and safety.
