Flexible Energy Management

As of 2026, Enefit no longer offers flexible energy management (flexibility) services to new customers. New orders for this service are no longer accepted. For existing customers already using the service, it will continue to be provided in accordance with the terms of existing agreements.

What is flexible energy consumption and how does it work?

Flexible energy consumption refers to the ability to adjust when electricity is used or generated, depending on market conditions.

This means certain devices can:

  • temporarily reduce or increase electricity consumption
  • shift operation to a different time
  • respond to electricity price changes

All of this is done automatically without disrupting core processes or equipment functionality.

What types of equipment can be managed flexibly?

Flexibility can be applied to a wide range of electricity-consuming or generating equipment where operation can be adjusted. The key requirement is that operation can be adjusted without disrupting core processes.

Industrial equipment:

  • pumps
  • compressors
  • heating and cooling systems
  • boilers and water heaters
  • furnaces

Transport solutions:

  • electric vehicles
  • electric buses
  • charging stations

Energy generation assets:

  • solar power plants
  • wind turbines
  • hydropower systems

Flexibility in the electricity market

The electricity system must constantly maintain a balance between supply and demand. As renewable energy sources like wind and solar are variable, flexibility plays a crucial role.

Flexible assets can:

  • help balance the grid
  • respond to short-term price signals
  • support overall system stability

This makes flexibility a key component of modern energy systems.

Which businesses benefit the most?

Flexible energy management is most relevant for businesses that:

  • operate energy-intensive equipment
  • can shift operational schedules
  • use automated processes
  • aim to optimize energy costs

Typical sectors include:

  • manufacturing
  • logistics
  • industrial operations
  • energy sector companies

Benefits of flexible energy management

Flexible energy management offers several advantages:

  • Lower electricity costs through optimized usage timing
  • Additional revenue opportunities via energy markets
  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Sustainability benefits through better use of renewables
  • Automation with minimal manual intervention

Flexible energy management is an important part of modern energy systems, helping businesses optimize energy use, reduce costs, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
