The Smart Energy Demand Coalition (SEDC) is a representative industry group dedicated to promoting the requirements of demand side programs in the European electricity markets.

Through this community, the Coalition will bring forward useful information on price responsive loads, program and technology experience, market structures, and market rules. This will include information on market participants’ roles, consumer needs and actions, enabling technologies, and specific programs as appropriate.  The intelligent cooperation between consumption, transmission & distribution and generation, acting as equal partners in a holistic energy eco-system, forms the heart of the Smart Grid.  The SEDC Vision is to promote the active participation by the demand side in European electricity markets – ensure consumer benefits, increase security of supply and reduce carbon emissions.
