#41 | Rethink Trading

Energy trading is no longer about how much energy you trade, but
about how smartly you orchestrate flexibility. In this episode of
ESFORIN Change Makers, we talk to Jean-Baptiste Cornefert,
Managing Director Trading at enercity, about the rise of a new
trading and he explains why the old trading playbook is reaching
its limits. Here's what you'll learn:

Why value in the energy market no longer derives primarily from
volume, but from #flexibility

How the role of the trader is shifting from price optimiser to
flexibility orchestrator

Why AI is core to trading, yet humans stay in the loop: "traders
who use AI will replace those who don't"

Where untapped flexibility is hiding beyond batteries: district
heating, CHP plants, heat pumps, industrial load and EV fleets

Why decarbonization and profitability are not a
contradiction

His picture of the future: a network of interconnected energy
islands in which traders manage flexible portfolios of batteries,
heat, virtual power plants and electric vehicles. We also talk
about our joint work with enercity on EV fleets as a flexibility
source.

"ESFORIN Change Makers" is the podcast about #EnergyFuture, the
digital energy transition and the people shaping it.
