This event, led by Professor Peter Lund, and featuring top international experts, will present the results of the Nordic flagship Flex4RES project, which focused on the challenge of how to integrate high shares of variable renewable energy across the Nordic region.

The project demonstrates that this challenge can be handled through a stronger coupling of energy markets across the Nordic region, thus facilitating a zero-carbon energy transition.
