Panel Discussion & Award Ceremony Denmark & Italy

Recording of Thursday, May 08, 2025 | The smarter E Europe | Exhibition Program | Language: English | Duration: 23:40 .

For the second time, the Energy Transition Award will be presented internationally, recognizing the most innovative utilities from France, Italy and Denmark that are leading the way with their innovative approach to renewable energy and sustainable solutions. The Energy Transition Award recognizes energy providers that are considered beacons for their focus on renewable energy, PV systems, charging stations, green electricity and their commitment to the energy transition. These role models should motivate and inspire other energy suppliers to adapt their strategies to the growing demands of a sustainable energy supply. Panel discussion: Inspiration for Europe. Key Drivers from France, Italy and Denmark will present their solutions and strategies in an exclusive panel discussion that address the specifics of their respective markets. Participants will learn first-hand how the energy transition is being driven forward in these countries, what challenges have been overcome, and what innovations can serve as models for Europe. With the Energy Transition Award, The smarter E Europe and EUPD Research recognize lighthouse companies that serve as role models through their commitment and innovation. The aim is to promote knowledge sharing and inspire energy utilities across Europe. Immediately following this session, the most innovative utilities in the DACH region will be honoured from 2:30pm-3:45pm. Please note that the panel discussions and the Award ceremony of the Energy Transition Award (DACH region) will be held in German.

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.
