#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.

#40 | Scaling Molecules

37 Minuten
In this episode of ESFORIN Change Makers, the CEO & Co-Founder of Sunfire, Nils Aldag, explains why green #hydrogen is not a nice-to-have, but a fundamental pillar of a climate-neutral, energy-independent and globally competitive Europe.

From startup beginnings in Dresden to building football field-sized electrolyser projects, Nils shares what it takes to scale industrial innovation and why hydrogen will play a critical role in decarbonizing sectors that cannot be directly electrified. Here’s what you'll learn:

Why renewable electricity alone won't be enough to achieve climate neutrality

  Which industries need hydrogen because they cannot be directly electrified

  How Sunfire scaled from a startup to a European cleantech leader with 700+ employees

  Why Europe still has the opportunity to lead the global hydrogen economy

  What must happen to make green hydrogen commercially competitive at scale

#39 | Utilizing the Untapped

29 Minuten
What if one of the biggest flexibility resources for the energy transition is already there, hidden in plain sight?

In this episode of ESFORIN Change Makers, host Theodora talks to Dr. Julia Singer, founder of Utilize, about why many  companies are sitting on untapped flexibility potential and how existing grid connections, battery storage and intelligent optimization can turn idle infrastructure into valuable market assets. Here’s what you'll learn:

Why flexibility is the next critical phase of the energy transition

How businesses can monetize existing grid connections without changing their core operations

Why commercial and industrial sites hold massive "hidden flexibility" potential

Why simplifying complexity is the key to bringing thousands of new market participants into flexibility markets

The future energy system won't just be built by adding more generation. It will be built by making smarter use of the infrastructure we already have.

#38 | Flexibility is not Optional

39 Minuten
What happens when the power market moves faster than ever and flexibility becomes the difference between cost and opportunity?

In this special episode of ESFORIN Change Makers, we turn the spotlight on our own founders @hristian Hövelhaus and Christoph Gardlo. Together, they share how ESFORIN was built around a bold vision more than a decade ago: turning flexibility into one of the most valuable assets of the energy transition.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Why flexibility is becoming essential for every energy market participant

  How batteries, industrial assets, renewables and demand response can turn volatility into value

  Why negative prices are not a market failure, BUT a market opportunity

  How digitalisation, automation and real-time optimisation are reshaping the energy landscape

  What makes ESFORIN’s cross-market, cross-commodity approach unique after 12 years of proven optimisation

One key takeaway: Flexibility is no longer optional. The companies that act now will be the ones creating value in tomorrow’s energy markets.

#37 | Built on BESS

32 Minuten
From the dark side of the force to the light side of the energy transition”, in this episode, @Jan‑Christopher Klotz (CCO Germany at Zelestra) shares his journey from conventional energy into the world of renewables and what he has learned along the way.

The energy transition is entering its next phase. Scaling renewables alone is no longer enough. As solar capacity grows, the system is increasingly facing oversupply, visible in negative market prices and growing grid stress. 

Drawing on practical project insights, from large‑scale PV + battery systems in Germany to global storage projects, Jan explains why the future lies in combining technologies: generation needs storage and assets need to become systems.

But the most insightful takeaway goes beyond technology. The energy transition is not just an engineering challenge, it’s a human one. Bringing together traders, farmers, developers, regulators and investors means aligning different perspectives, languages and incentives into one functioning system.

Tune in to learn why BESS is becoming the backbone of the next energy era and why real change happens when technology, systems and people move in sync.

Über diesen Podcast

The podcast on the energy future, the digital energy transition and change making.  A successful energy transition is essential for climate-neutral, independent and economically viable energy systems. While public attention often focuses on large-scale infrastructure projects such as grid expansion or renewable investments, many impactful innovations are already being developed and implemented today – across industries, technologies and markets. In this podcast, we give a voice to the “change makers” shaping this transformation. Together with leaders from across the energy ecosystem, we explore how they approach the challenges of energy transition, digitalisation and decarbonisation – and what is already working in practice. Which solutions can be implemented today? And what progress does not have to wait for the full build-out of renewables? A podcast by ESFORIN SE – the independent pioneer and leading provider in short-term flexibility marketing and cross-market optimisation. With more than a decade of experience, ESFORIN leverages algorithms and real trading expertise to unlock the full value of flexibility across energy markets, optimizing and monetizing a wide range of assets including batteries, co-location setups, industrial processes, utilities and biogas.  ■   Der Podcast über die Energiezukunft, die digitale Energiewende und die Menschen, die den Wandel vorantreiben. Eine erfolgreiche Energiewende ist entscheidend für klimaneutrale, unabhängige und wirtschaftliche Energiesysteme. Während sich die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit häufig auf große Infrastrukturprojekte wie Netzausbau oder Investitionen in erneuerbare Energien richtet, werden bereits heute viele wirkungsvolle Innovationen entwickelt und umgesetzt – über Branchen, Technologien und Märkte hinweg. In diesem Podcast geben wir den „Change Makern“ eine Stimme, die diese Transformation aktiv gestalten. Gemeinsam mit führenden Persönlichkeiten aus dem gesamten Energiesystem beleuchten wir, wie sie die Herausforderungen der Energiewende, der Digitalisierung und der Dekarbonisierung angehen – und was in der Praxis bereits funktioniert. Welche Lösungen sind heute schon umsetzbar? Und welche Fortschritte müssen nicht auf den vollständigen Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien warten? Ein Podcast von ESFORIN SE  – dem unabhängigen Pionier und führenden Anbieter im Bereich der kurzfristigen Flexibilitätsvermarktung und Cross-Market-Optimierung. Mit über einem Jahrzehnt Erfahrung nutzt ESFORIN Algorithmen und fundierte Handelsexpertise, um das volle Potenzial von Flexibilität über verschiedene Energiemärkte hinweg zu erschließen und unterschiedlichste Assets zu optimieren und zu monetarisieren – von Batteriespeichern und Co-Location-Konzepten bis hin zu industriellen Prozessen, Stadtwerken und Biogasanlagen.
