Electric vehicles are more than clean transport. They are key to the distributed energy ecosystem. Unlocking their potential requires smart (V1X) and bidirectional (V2X) charging, both essential for seamless grid integration and maximizing the value of electric vehicles as flexible energy assets.Such solutions help EV owners cut costs and generate revenue while enabling grid operators to manage congestion, enhance stability, and support a cleaner energy transition.This session will explore business models for cost-effective V1X and V2X integration, focusing on grid-EV interaction and demand-side management in residential and commercial settings.

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.
