About the Forum
The 2nd Annual Grid Congestion & Flexibility in the Energy Transition Forum will bring together leading TSOs, DSOs, energy companies, aggregators, technology providers, and researchers to explore how flexibility can help address growing grid congestion challenges across Europe.
As renewable penetration accelerates and electrification expands across transport, heating, and industry, power systems are facing increasing congestion at both transmission and distribution levels. Traditional grid expansion alone cannot solve these challenges quickly enough. Instead, flexibility, digitalization, and smarter market design are becoming essential tools for maintaining system stability and enabling the energy transition.
This two-day forum will provide a platform for industry leaders to exchange practical insights on flexibility deployment, congestion forecasting, market integration, and customer participation, while examining how technology, regulation, and market frameworks must evolve to support scalable flexibility solutions.
Why Attend
Participants will gain valuable insights into how leading utilities, system operators, and innovators are tackling congestion and unlocking flexibility across Europe’s energy systems.
Key benefits include:
- Learning how TSOs and DSOs are operationalizing flexibility for congestion management
- Understanding AI, predictive analytics, and digital twins for grid planning and system monitoring
- Exploring large-scale flexibility solutions, including grid-scale batteries and dynamic line rating
- Examining market design and regulatory developments shaping flexibility markets
- Networking with senior experts responsible for grid operations, flexibility platforms, and energy market innovation
Featured Discussion Topics
The forum will focus on the most pressing challenges and opportunities in grid flexibility:
- Customer Involvement & Engagement in Flexibility
- Low-Voltage Flexibility – DSO Perspectives
- Grid-Scale Battery Flexibility – Technical and Regulatory Updates
- Customer-Centric Flexibility: Business and Product Perspectives
- Aligning Technology, Regulation & Market Design
The event will conclude with a high-level panel discussion examining how technology innovation, regulatory frameworks, and market design must align to scale flexibility beyond pilot projects.
Join Industry Leaders in Amsterdam
Taking place in Amsterdam on 4–5 June 2026, this forum will provide an opportunity for energy professionals to share expertise, benchmark strategies, and explore scalable flexibility solutions that will support Europe’s energy transition.
Through expert presentations, case studies, and interactive discussions, the forum will offer practical insights into how grid operators, technology providers, and market participants can work together to address congestion challenges and build a more flexible, resilient power system.
