Electrically flexible industry - we're looking for new partners!
The industrial transition is in full swing - and electricity flexibility is key. An important step towards increased competitiveness is now being taken with the Electrically flexible industry feasibility study. The aim is to develop solutions for a more flexible, robust, digital and resource-efficient energy system. Together with industry players, academia and innovation environments, we are building on lessons learned from previous projects in flex, power electronics, energy storage, IT, AI, digital twins and automation, to quickly put these solutions into practice.
Digitalisation provides new opportunities to control and optimize power needs for sustainable energy use as part of the green transition of industry. One or more physical industrial clusters can become pilots and serve as role models.
Two starting points:
- Awareness-raising activities to strengthen customer skills and make new solutions available
- A portfolio of test and demo projects linked to real industry clusters, where we demonstrate innovative solutions, digital tools and new business models.
Looking for more project partners
The initiative now welcomes more partners from manufacturing and energy-intensive industries who want to be at the forefront. Focus areas include AI, electricity storage, automation, digital infrastructure and sector coupling - always with sustainability, safety and profitability in mind.
"Help us shape the solutions for collaborating with the electricity system in a future that is climate-smart, competitive, and resilient. Share, test, and develop the way forward together!"
