Sustainable, strategic, smart: The flex advantage energy solution

Energy managers are facing a double challenge: volatile energy prices and hidden waste from outdated “set-and-forget” practices. Do they think energy management is not worth the effort? Too complicated and too difficult to get past the board?

Find out how that is not the case with Adam Wright, Product Director at measurable.energy. You’ll learn about how 50% savings from day one are possible as he shares insights and real life cases of how energy AI and automation will cut energy, cut carbon and cut costs. 

Join the session for more real-life energy hacks including:

- Case studies with jaw-dropping ROI (including a beer fridge story you won’t believe)

- Smart but simple hacks that save big money fast

- How staff behaviour can shift when you show them red vs. green energy in real time

This isn’t theory. This could be the easiest, cheapest and fastest route to reduce carbon and energy costs in 2025.

From cost chaos to control: Break the set-and-forget cycle in energy management

In this no-holds-barred session, measurable.energy, RO Group and PKF Francis Clark join Big Zero to unpack an uncomfortable truth: today’s energy management tools aren’t fit for purpose. Baselining is broken. Circuit-level data is too vague. And your BMS? It cannot see up to 40% of what’s actually using power.

Discover why the built environment’s hidden drain - plug power - is one of the fastest routes to cutting carbon, cost, and risk across your portfolio.

You’ll learn:
• Why traditional baselining is broken
• The limits of circuit-level monitoring and the blind spots in your BMS
• How appliance-level control tackles wasted energy at source
• Real-world results: from offices to multi-site portfolios
Whether you're managing assets, sustainability, or facilities, this session is your invitation to challenge outdated norms, and lead the energy revolution from the ground up.

Stop guessing. Start automating control.

Data-driven decisions: how households and businesses can harness smart meter info

November saw the introduction of new arrangements that allow business to realise additional value from their sites’ electricity flexibility. 
For many years, the industry has been trying to unlock the potential of demand-side response (DSR). The latest step towards this came on 7 November with the implementation of P415, which is opening up wholesale markets to all types of flexibility, and allowing participation beyond a consumer’s licensed electricity supplier.

Customers flexing when and how much power they consume has significant potential to reduce the infrastructure investment needed to move to a more sustainable energy system but it also brings revenue opportunities for businesses, allowing them to enter into the wholesale energy markets through a Virtual Lead Party (VLP) like GridBeyond. But to take full advantage of the revenue opportunities, asset data and the forecasting models will be key and the management of this increasing volume of information is complex. 

Join this webinar to hear from GridBeyond’s Head of Portfolio, Adam Kenneally, and Global Director of Sales Operations, Manik Lowe to explore:
·      how demand response works, particularly for commercial and industrial users
·      the challenges and opportunities of P415 modification 
·      how big data and site-specific information, combined with AI and machine learning can identify which portions of your operations could be made flexible 
·      how to unlock the hidden potential for flexibility by scheduling your participation around business-critical processes while delivering the best economic production schedule for your facility

What does P415 mean for flexibility?

Join Geoff Curran and Jacob Swei, Founder of Sub-Cool FM, discuss how heat pumps can help your business to save costs and reduce carbon.

The world confronts increasing energy demands alongside the challenges of climate change. GridBeyond’s recent white paper Global Energy Trends 2025 and beyond | The rise of the demand side offers an analysis of the driving forces, emerging trends, and policy frameworks influencing the future of energy systems.  
Aging infrastructure, rising energy needs, and the integration of renewables present shared hurdles across regions like the UK, Ireland, USA, Australia, and Japan. Yet, these challenges offer transformative opportunities for innovation and collaboration. 
While renewables such as solar PV are setting new records, the shift toward intermittent energy sources is transforming the traditional electricity value chain. Grids built for simpler times are now under pressure. But amidst these challenges lies an exciting opportunity for flexibility to reshape our energy systems.  
In our upcoming webinar part of our Global Energy Trends 2025 series, our experts will examine how 
• The rise of electrification and decentralisation in energy systems 
• How flexibility is critical for balancing energy security, growth, and sustainability 
• How technologies, such as electric vehicles, demand side management and virtual power plants are providing flexibility  
• Innovations and policies shaping the future of the energy sector
