The EcoGrid Market and Demand Response Performance
• Different response from customer group have to be taken into account in the market design
• Response to prices with uncertainty • Activating demand reduces the peak load by
670 kW (1.2% of Bornholm peak demand)
• The societal costs from balancing are reduced by 5.4%
• The EcoGrid market allows to integrate 8.6% more wind power than the baseline market
