Entelios AG's Markus Fleschutz Discusses Power-to-Heat Market Growth and Energy Cost Savings at The Smarter E Platform.

Markus Fleschutz from Entelios AG discusses the company's leadership in industrial demand response since 2010, emphasizing their extensive operations across Germany's control zones and connections to major spot markets. They optimize flexible assets like large-scale batteries and power-to-heat systems. A key trend is electrifying process heat due to decarbonization pressures, energy price volatility, and new regulations promoting flexibility in industries traditionally limited by grid charge discounts requirements. Currently, only 3% of Europe's industrial emissions from process heat are electrified; however, existing technology could increase this figure to 60%. The business case for power-to-heat strengthens with high capacity prices during summer midday periods when unused electricity can be efficiently utilized. Regulatory changes now support companies adopting flexible operations through potential grid charge discounts or incentives—transforming restrictive policies into supportive frameworks fostering innovative models such as e-boilers or ambitious decarbonization strategies involving heat storage solutions. Financial benefits include significant cost savings via optimized energy systems like a bivalent mode operating 30-megawatt e-boiler leading to substantial revenue enhancements through various market participations while contributing partially towards decarbonization efforts without explicitly targeting carbon reduction goals.

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.
