This paper is a distillate of findings of the FLEXCoop and HOLISDER H2020 projects and points out the key findings related to standardization and interoprability made by KONČAR who participated in both projects. It points out some key enabling steps for wider proliferation of demand-side flexibility services throughout the European Union.
