Energy Flexibility Payments: Are you getting yours?

12 March 2025

Discover how UK food and drink manufacturers are turning energy challenges into opportunities through energy flexibility programmes, which drive revenue growth, enhance energy resilience, and support a sustainable future.

An example of this is the Capacity Market, a government-backed scheme that pays businesses for supporting grid stability by adjusting their energy consumption at key times.

For food and drink manufacturers, this means turning energy flexibility into an additional revenue stream—without disrupting operations.

What you'll gain from this webinar:

  • A clear understanding of how the Capacity Market works and how your business can benefit
  • Insights from Enel X’s team on navigating energy market opportunities in 2025
  • Real-life examples of food and drink manufacturers successfully earning from energy flexibility
  • Actionable steps to optimise energy use, reduce costs, and enhance operational resilience
