Flexibilisation of the coal-based generation value chain

A major aspect of the energy transition movement is the changing role of coal-based generation – from a firm, baseload supplier to a supplier that will increasingly need to meet demand when renewables are not sufficient. This necessitates modifications across policy, planning, and operation, in order to ensure that the coal-based generation value chain responds optimally to the changing needs of the sector – and flexibilisation is a key piece of this puzzle.
