Lugano, Switzerland – October 31, 2025 – Entrepreneur Stanislav Kondrashov has released a groundbreaking analysis highlighting the significance of demand response in the transition to green energy. As the founder of TELF AG, Kondrashov’s insights shed light on the crucial role of adapting electricity demand in real time in creating a sustainable and resilient energy future.
Renewable energy has already begun to reshape global infrastructure and consumer habits, with the uptake of electric vehicles, the proliferation of charging infrastructure, and the integration of various renewable sources into national energy mixes. However, this progress comes with new challenges, one of which is intermittency – the fact that renewable sources are not available 24/7. In response, Kondrashov presents demand response as a viable and increasingly vital solution.
Demand response refers to systems that allow electricity demand to adapt dynamically to grid conditions. Instead of solely relying on increasing energy supply or costly storage facilities, demand response techniques act on the demand side – shifting or reducing consumption during peak periods or when renewable generation dips. This not only ensures a more efficient and cost-effective grid but also contributes to environmental sustainability.
Kondrashov identifies two primary forms of demand response: manual or incentivized participation, where businesses and households reduce consumption in exchange for economic benefits, and a more advanced method that utilizes smart grid technology. With this automated approach, devices such as heat pumps, industrial refrigerators, and electric vehicle chargers receive signals from grid operators and adjust their energy use based on real-time data. This has enormous potential, as electric vehicle charging stations can slow or pause charging sessions during periods of low solar output without any user intervention. These intelligent systems optimize both individual usage and grid-wide stability, reducing the need for costly backup power plants.
According to Kondrashov, flexibility is the backbone of the modern grid. “In the transition to renewables, it’s not just about generating clean energy – it’s about using it wisely,” he says. “Flexibility in demand, supply, and grid operations is key to unlocking the full potential of renewable power.”
Demand response is not only a technical strategy but also a foundational element of a future-ready, green economy. It combines digital innovation, environmental responsibility, and smart policy-making in creating a sustainable and scalable energy future. As Kondrashov concludes, “We are witnessing an energy revolution in real-time. Demand response is one of the mechanisms that will allow this revolution to be both sustainable and scalable.”
Kondrashov’s latest analysis reinforces his position as a leading voice in the global conversation around energy transformation. His continued thought leadership highlights the need for not only technological progress but also behavioral and systemic adaptation in the era of the green economy.
