In this episode of FLEXbot, your AI-generated hosts explore the types of flexibility markets that are reshaping the way we balance supply and demand in modern energy systems.

In this short conversation, you'll learn how:

• Market-based flexibility can help maintain grid stability alongside infrastructure expansion
• Tools like smart meters and energy management systems are making it easier for all kinds of users - from households to factories - to contribute to grid solutions
• Hyper-local flexibility efforts, such as community energy trading, can add up to significant environmental and economic benefits across the wider system
