France aims to enhance energy flexibility to accommodate rising renewable energy generation by 2030, addressing challenges from increased electrification in mobility and heating. The emphasis is on utilizing smaller decentralized assets, shifting the timing of energy use to minimize grid strain. This new consumption pattern may result in users with lower overall energy consumption paying more based on their usage timing. Effective capacity management within the electrical grid is crucial, as existing restrictions impact maintenance and expansions, notably concerning cable sizes and environmental impacts during peak consumption months. Tilt Energy is at the forefront of optimizing energy consumption through intelligent management of decentralized assets like EV chargers and batteries, aiming to maximize flexibility and reduce the need for new infrastructure. The company operates across Europe, focusing on three core components: forecasting energy needs, asset orchestration, and maintaining connectivity. By engaging with multiple energy markets and collaborating with utilities and end users, Tilt Energy plays a significant role in connecting various assets to the grid, ensuring comprehensive utilization of available flexibility. Their operations are underscored by a commitment to promoting decarbonization and affordable energy solutions in alignment with local regulations.

Industrial and commercial flexibility is no longer experimental - it is becoming a core part of network operation and market participation. Across Europe, DSOs, transmission system operators (TSOs), aggregators and retailers are moving from isolated pilots to coordinated programs that avoid grid upgrades and deliver real capacity and financial value for all participants.This session focuses on the operational integration of C&I flexibility into routine grid workflows through dispatch, settlement, verification and commercial models. It highlights how flexibility is embedded in daily operations: from automated dispatch and verification tools to new contractual models that reward large energy users for adapting consumption. You will gain insight into replicable approaches for scaling flex portfolios, integrating them into control-room workflows and ensuring fair value-sharing across utilities, service providers and industrial consumers.
