In this episode of „ESFORIN Change Makers,“ we speak with Jean-Baptiste Cornefert, Managing Director of Trading at enercity, about the rise of a new type of trading, and he explains why traditional trading strategies are reaching their limits. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why value in the energy market no longer depends primarily on volume, but on flexibility
- How the Retailer's Role Is Evolving from Price Optimizer to Flexibility Coordinator
- Why AI is crucial for retail, but people will still have a role to play: „Retailers who use AI will replace those who don’t.“
- Where unused flexibility lies beyond batteries: district heating, CHP plants, heat pumps, industrial loads, and electric vehicle fleets
- Why Decarbonization and Profitability Are Not Mutually Exclusive
His vision for the future: a network of interconnected energy islands, in which utilities manage flexible portfolios consisting of batteries, heat, virtual power plants, and electric vehicles. We also discuss our joint work with enercity on electric vehicle fleets as a source of flexibility.
„ESFORIN Change Makers“ is the podcast about the future of energy, the digital energy transition, and the people shaping it.
