Episode 16 - Unlocking Energy Flexibility with Fever

Why Flexibility Is Becoming The Most Valuable Energy Asset

‍
As Europe's energy system transitions from predictable, centralized generation to renewable and distributed energy sources, flexibility is becoming one of the most valuable resources on the grid. Wind and solar power create greater volatility, while electrification is rapidly increasing demand from EVs, batteries, heat pumps, and data centers.

‍
This shift is creating entirely new opportunities for businesses that can adjust when and how they consume, store, or deliver energy. Assets that were previously viewed solely as energy consumers—including EV chargers, electric vehicles, and battery storage systems—are increasingly becoming active participants in the energy system.

‍
In this episode of The Charge Point Podcast, Christophe speaks with Jonatan Raber, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Fever, about how flexibility markets work, why energy assets are becoming revenue-generating resources, and how software is helping businesses unlock value from EV charging infrastructure, batteries, and other distributed energy assets.

What You Will Learn From This Episode

‍
As flexibility markets mature across Europe, businesses have new opportunities to participate in the energy system and generate additional revenue from existing infrastructure.

‍

Key learnings:

‍

• Why grid flexibility is becoming essential as Europe transitions from predictable energy generation to renewable and intermittent power sources.
• How EV smart charging, batteries, and other distributed energy assets can participate in flexibility markets and create new revenue streams.
• Why EV charging infrastructure is evolving beyond energy consumption to become an active contributor to grid stability.
• How businesses can use battery energy storage systems (BESS) and energy optimization software to monetize flexibility while improving operational efficiency.
• Why public charging hubs are increasingly being viewed as energy hubs, where grid connections become strategic assets rather than simple utility connections.
• How the future energy system may shift from paying primarily for electricity consumption toward rewarding flexibility and responsiveness.
