What if one of the biggest flexibility resources for the energy transition is already there, hidden in plain sight?
In this episode of ESFORIN Change Makers, host Theodora talks to Dr. Julia Singer, founder of Utilize, about why many  companies are sitting on untapped flexibility potential and how existing grid connections, battery storage and intelligent optimization can turn idle infrastructure into valuable market assets. Here’s what you'll learn:

⚡ Why flexibility is the next critical phase of the energy transition
🔋 How businesses can monetize existing grid connections without changing their core operations
🏭 Why commercial and industrial sites hold massive "hidden flexibility" potential
🚀 Why simplifying complexity is the key to bringing thousands of new market participants into flexibility markets

The future energy system won't just be built by adding more generation. It will be built by making smarter use of the infrastructure we already have.
