Turning Energy Flexibility into Profit for Food & Drink Manufacturers
Energy is now a strategic challenge for food and drink manufacturers, with costs, margins, and resilience under constant pressure. In this webinar, Ged Ward and Gareth Ball from Enel X will show how energy flexibility can move from a technical challenge to a practical source of revenue, savings, and security.
The webinar will break down how programmes like the UK Capacity Market actually work, covering site suitability, potential payouts, and integration with common assets. You’ll also hear how other manufacturers are already benefiting - without disrupting production, and how flexibility can protect output during periods of grid stress.
Join us to gain the knowledge to engage stakeholders, estimate the financial opportunity, and start building your own energy flexibility plan with confidence.
