To scale flex markets at pace, energy networks and retailers need to design products and tariffs that are attractive, engaging and offer the right level of incentives to consumers. Join this session to delve into the detail of how the industry is taking innovation and pilots to BAU and the measures they’re deploying to scale flexibility services capacity.

Digital infrastructure underpins efficient and accessible flexibility markets, but more needs to be done to share data and enable innovation to scale. Join this session to uncover the innovative approaches being adopted to build digital infrastructure, bridge data gaps and unlock flexibility market access.

Gaining traction with I&C customers is critical to unlocking more flex capacity. The challenge is demonstrating the value for end users and minimising disruption to their businesses. Join this session to learn more about partnerships with major energy users and what needs to change to encourage more participation into flex markets.

The UK’s Clean Flexibility Roadmap sets out an ambitious vision for scaling low-carbon flexibility to 51–66 GW by 2030 in support of decarbonisation and security of supply. Consumer leg flexibility is a critical enabler of a net-zero power system. But to unlock this at scale, energy retailers, utilities, network operators and regulators must coordinate across infrastructure, markets, and digital systems — and resolve emerging commercial, operational and regulatory tensions.  

• Do market design standards go far enough and are markets and revenue model investable? 
• What needs to happen within the next 1–2 years to put the UK on a credible trajectory to hit the short‑term milestones? 
• Where are the sticking points in delivery — and who is responsible for unblocking them? 
• What is the role will governance and accountability play in scaling flex? 

Scaling energy flexibility to support Clean Power 2030 ambitions require innovative thinking, novel approaches and groundbreaking companies to support the industry. Join this session to discover the disruptive technologies and methodologies reimagining the UK’s flexibility markets and removing barriers to access. 

Creating flexibility markets that are accessible is critical to scaling and enabling all customers to have more control over their energy bills. This session delves into how to best consider all energy users when designing flexibility products to avoid a two-tier system and ensure an equitable marketplace.

Making flex markets as easy to participate in as possible is key to driving successful engagement and leveraging the flex potential of the UK. This session will explore the work being done to improve automation, remove barriers and improve integration of markets.

As energy systems grow more complex and decentralised, understanding, managing and forecasting flexible assets is more critical than ever. This session explores how visibility, forecasting and automation can unlock the full potential of flexible assets. 

To best maximise renewable energy and achieve Clean Power 2030 objectives, the UK needs to increase its short and medium energy storage capability. Understanding the infrastructure needed to enable V2G storage, domestic batteries and more is critical to the successful use of flexible storage. In this session, discover the latest updates into storage technologies, grid readiness programmes and innovation.  

Energy flexibility is critical to achieving the government’s Clean Power goals for 2030 and beyond. To succeed in the roll out of energy flexibility and scale and pace, the UK needs a driving force to take the position of commissioner. Join this interview to explore the key objectives and priorities for the Flexibility Commission to ensure momentum in government to facilitate the building of robust markets, the delivery of strong economic and social outcomes and a united approach with buy in from multiple stakeholders.
