Private credit is currently in a peculiar situation.
The economy is closely linked to the cost of funds. Low interest rates mean cheap borrowing costs, which theoretically should lead to higher utilization of credit instruments. Conversely, high interest rates mean expensive borrowing costs, which theoretically should reduce demand for credit.

I. Introduction
This research begins with a simple observation: the power system is being asked to complete a task it was never designed to perform.
As the penetration rate of renewable energy accelerates, the electrification process advances comprehensively, and AI-driven data center demand surges, the traditional model of "building more generation and transmission facilities to meet peak loads" is collapsing. Infrastructure construction cycles are too long, grid interconnection queues are severely backlogged, and capital intensity remains high.
Against this backdrop, flexibility—the ability to dynamically adjust supply and demand in real-time—has evolved from an auxiliary function to a core pillar of grid reliability. The historical flexibility supply, which mainly relied on large industrial loads and peaking power plants, is transforming into a complex multi-layered market where distributed energy resources (DER), software platforms, and aggregators coordinate.
