10% flexible electricity consumption by 2030 matters because the energy transition depends on matching demand with renewable generation and grid capacity. Flexibility can reduce pressure on the electricity system when supply and demand do not align.

The climate value is not only in producing clean electricity, but also in using it at moments when the system can handle it.
