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 in Denmark and Sweden. 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?

Featuring speakers from

AGENDA - Interface Scandianavia (Copenhague DK, 27 May 2026)

1

The Nordic Grid Paradox: Power-Rich, Yet Capacity-Constrained

Why Denmark and Sweden are hitting real bottlenecks — and how electrification, renewables and grid topology are reshaping the system

2

From Deployment to Optimization: The New Role of CPOs

How operators adapt to grid limits, uncertain demand and power allocation constraints — shifting from infrastructure rollout to energy optimization

3

Flexibility, VPPs & Market Access: From Constraint to Opportunity

How EV charging becomes a controllable energy asset — what is actually monetizable today, and how leading players are already capturing value

4

The Nordic Blueprint: Designing Scalable, Grid-Integrated Charging

From public fast-charging hubs to depot and heavy-duty charging — how to design MW-scale sites with BESS, smart charging and flexibility at the core

Testimonial

“What I appreciate most is the opportunity to connect informally with professionals from different subfields - whether it’s grid operators, technology providers, policymakers, or fleet managers. These conversations often spark unexpected ideas and solutions that you simply wouldn’t discover in a siloed setting”
