Reach the DNO flexibility leads, NESO professionals and battery storage decision-makers at the moment the market is being built

The Flexibility and Storage Zone puts your flexibility platform, storage technology or aggregation proposition in front of DNO flexibility teams, aggregators, energy retailers and the wider organisations actively building GB's flexibility market. It covers flexibility markets and demand-side management; DSO and smart networks; battery and grid-scale storage; and EV charging and vehicle-to-grid, in a zone built specifically for this community.

Five reasons the organisations building GB's flexibility market are choosing Utility Week Live

Why the Flexibility and Storage Zone?

Direct Access

The people setting flexibility strategy, together

DNO flexibility directors, heads of DSO, NESO market development managers and energy retailer flexibility managers, actively building the commercial and technical infrastructure of GB's flexibility market.

Timing

The SSES moment gives you a reason to talk

Four new regulatory pillars, cyber security, grid stability, interoperability and data privacy, come into force within six months of UWL27. Every organisation in the market is reviewing its position now.

Growth    

Storage needs relationships, not just capital

The battery storage pipeline is growing faster than any other area of grid investment, and developers need DNO relationships to secure the long-term revenue certainty their financing depends on.

Content-led

Stage sessions built around what this audience wants

A programme shaped by the regulatory and market intelligence this audience actually follows, designed to draw flexibility and storage professionals into your zone across both days.

Year-round

Visibility before the show even opens

Utility Week's flexibility editorial stream reaches flexibility professionals in the engaged audience year-round, with a pre-show SSES readiness tracker and market intelligence briefing, extending your presence ahead of the show. You'll also feature in multiple campaigns reaching 180,000+ contacts, 38,000 social followers and 500,000 annual website users.
