Future Power Systems need to be more flexible and innovative on the demand side (DS) if the "controllable" generation mix is going to decrease while the share of renewables (RES) grows (according to EC forecasts for the energy horizon 2030-50). If more flexibility is not achieved through Demand Response (DR), Energy Efficiency (EE) and Storage Systems (ESS), neither the objectives of RES integration, nor the energy sustainability policy of the UE will be credible, at least from the points of view of efficiency, reliability, and network security. The new design of the EU internal energy market is focused on the empowerment of the consumer, and this requires its active participation through the development of new products and a greater relationship between wholesale, retail and local energy markets. Some barriers have been broken down or will disappear, such as a different consideration and revenue for DER and conventional generation resources, if and only if DER resources demonstrate similar capacities. To do this, the EU needs to overcome legislative and technological delays with the USA and other countries (e.g., the figures of DR potential). It is remarkable in this subproject 2 the consideration of small and medium users in the proposal, because they explain more than 50% of energy consumption. Promoting DER resources means the consideration of the aggregation of demand and energy storage; new more efficient loads and ways of controlling them; the improvement of
