Executive Summary
Siemens has introduced Gridscale X Flexibility Manager as part of its modular Gridscale X suite, to support digital, data-driven grid operations. Designed to help utilities manage the surge in electrification and distributed energy resources (DERs), Flexibility Manager enables congestion forecasting, real-time grid stress analysis and automated flexibility activation – capabilities that reduce connection delays and defer costly infrastructure investments. Early deployments with European distribution system operators (DSOs) are set to deliver measurable results, with Siemens citing up to 20% capacity gains and hundreds of millions of euros in avoided grid reinforcement costs for clients. Complementing Siemens’s established Spectrum Power platform for real-time grid control, Gridscale X positions the firm as a key player in the evolving flexibility ecosystem, combining operational reliability with digital infrastructure.About the Authors
