The Nordic power system is no longer a story of abundance - but of constraints.

As EV adoption accelerates, grid bottlenecks, power allocation and volatility are becoming the new reality across the region. The challenge is no longer how to deploy charging - but how to operate it within limits.
INTERFACE brings together the operators and energy players shaping this next phase.

From site optimization and MW-scale depot charging to flexibility markets and VPPs, the focus shifts to making charging an integrated, controllable part of the energy system.
If it works for trucks, it works for everything - and the blueprint is being built now.

How do we scale EV charging in a grid that is already constrained - not in theory, but in practice?
And how do we turn charging infrastructure from a power bottleneck into a flexible, revenue-generating energy asset?

Testimonial

“One of the most valuable aspects is the opportunity to connect with industry peers and potential partners in an open, collaborative setting. It’s a chance to share ideas, learn from each other’s experiences, discuss common challenges, and discover practical solutions together.”

FAQ

What was INTERFACE Nordics 2026?
chevron-up

INTERFACE Nordics 2026 was part of FLEXECHARGE’s INTERFACE event series for EV charging and grid decision-makers. Held in Copenhagen, it brought together CPOs, grid operators, energy companies, BESS providers, and technology partners to discuss how charging infrastructure can scale across the Nordics despite grid constraints.

When and where did INTERFACE Nordics 2026 take place?
chevron-up

INTERFACE Nordics 2026 took place on May 27, 2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark, at FLEXECHARGE HQ.

Who was INTERFACE Nordics designed for?
chevron-up

The event was designed for Charge Point Operators, fleet charging operators, grid operators, energy companies, BESS providers, infrastructure developers, consultants, investors, and technology partners working on scalable, grid-integrated EV charging infrastructure.

What topics were covered at INTERFACE Nordics?
chevron-up

Topics included Nordic grid bottlenecks, power allocation, smart charging, load management, BESS integration, MW-scale depot charging, flexibility markets, Virtual Power Plants, and the role of EV charging as a controllable energy asset.

Why did INTERFACE Nordics focus on grid constraints?
chevron-up

Grid constraints are becoming a practical barrier for EV charging deployment across the Nordic region. The event focused on how CPOs can keep expanding charging networks through smarter local energy management, BESS, load management, and closer collaboration with grid operators.

How are BESS and smart charging relevant for Nordic EV charging operators?
chevron-up

BESS and smart charging help operators manage limited grid capacity, reduce peak demand, improve site resilience, and optimize energy use. They can also support flexibility services and Virtual Power Plant models where market conditions allow.

Which companies joined INTERFACE Nordics?
chevron-up

INTERFACE Nordics featured speakers and panellists from Energinet, Utiligize, Pixii, E.ON Drive, Hybrid Greentech, Fount, and FLEXECHARGE.

What can CPOs learn from INTERFACE Nordics?
chevron-up

CPOs can learn how to design and operate charging sites where grid capacity is limited. The event explored local load management, BESS integration, flexibility services, VPPs, and ways to improve site economics while scaling infrastructure.
