Test Event and Conference Residential Flexibility
We are happy to highlight an interesting upcoming event: the Residential Flexibility Test Event and Conference , organised by ElaadNL with the support of TNO and FAN.
The two-day event will take place on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 February 2026 at the ElaadNL Testlab in Arnhem, the Netherlands. It will bring together technology providers, system developers, policymakers, and researchers working on residential energy flexibility and interoperability.
ElaadNL invites manufacturers and developers to take part in the first Residential Flexibility Test Event, extending its proven “testival” approach from EVs and charging infrastructure to Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) and Flexible Energy Intensive Devices (FEIDs).
Participation offers a unique opportunity to test products and software alongside other vendors in a neutral, pre-competitive environment. Participants can identify interoperability challenges at an early stage, explore solutions collaboratively, and gain insight into how their assets behave in realistic residential flexibility scenarios. By taking part, organisations actively contribute to building a shared technical foundation for scalable residential flexibility across Europe.
The test event is open to producers and manufacturers of in-scope equipment, including physical or cloud-based HEMS, as well as EV chargers, stationary batteries, solar inverters, and heat pumps. Participants are required to bring their own hardware to the event.
