Testimonials
“The energy transition will require smart electrification and the integration of intermittent of renewables. This is why Schneider Electric shares smartEn’s vision for a smart, flexible, and decentralised energy system, built around demand-response incentives instead of fossil fuel supply. We hope to continue to support their advocacy in years to come, which is informed by the strong expertise of members, secretariat, and academics.”
“smartEn has profoundly impacted Hive Power’s ability to carry out its mission by providing a crucial link to others in the flexibility ecosystem. On a business level, we’ve accessed more opportunities than possible going it alone, whether through conferences held by smartEn and other associations, speaking opportunities, or collaborative written content they’ve produced. On a strategic level, their publications continue to help us stay ahead of developments in the market. And perhaps most importantly, on a human level, they’ve proven to be reliable and extremely friendly partners to have in our corner.”
“As a European Power Exchange and operator of local flexibility markets, EPEX SPOT is a long-lasting member of smartEn. We have seen it develop as the key-actor in the demand response and flexibility realm both at EU and European country level. We have been engaged with smartEn for many years with the shared objective of achieving a competitive and climate neutral Europe, facilitated by market-based flexibility procurement. We are eager to continue this journey for the years to come.”
“At Cybergrid, our mission to enable a decentralized and flexible energy system aligns perfectly with smartEn’s vision for a smarter energy future. Being part of this vibrant network allows us to engage with key stakeholders, stay at the forefront of policy developments, and contribute to shaping the future of energy markets in Europe. The insights and collaboration opportunities within smartEn are crucial for us as we continue to innovate in demand-side management and grid flexibility. We truly value the platform smartEn provides to amplify our voice and impact in driving the energy transition forward.”
