This session examines the economic foundations of system flexibility and resilient infrastructure in power systems undergoing rapid transition and increasing exposure to physical and climate-related risks, as wind and solar become the primary sources of new capacity globally. It explores the role of energy storage, grid reinforcement, interconnections, and flexibility services in maintaining reliability, affordability, and security of supply. The discussion also addresses cost trajectories for battery storage and other flexibility solutions, investments in resilient infrastructure to enhance system performance during extreme weather events and natural disasters, and the market and regulatory frameworks needed to deliver robust, adaptable energy systems
