Flexible tomatoes taste better than baseload tomatoes
The Industry is on a journey from baseload consumer to flexible energy trader. In this journey, Flexcity empowered industrials by enabling them to benefit from every opportunity in the short-term energy markets and even outcompete big utilities.
This talk will first set forward Flexcity's vision of "Every company is an energy company". Secondly, the talk will deep-dive into some use cases of companies that journeyed from baseload to flexible energy traders and now use their "Flex" to arbitrate daily between their end product (Steel, Steam, Tomatoes etc..) and prices on all short-term energy markets.
