Innovative automation delivers scalable flexibility asset registration and aggregation, unlocking new value for UK energy customers.

Chorley, UK – EDF, one of the UK’s leading energy suppliers, has partnered with Energy Software Group (ESG) to strengthen its leadership in the UK flexibility market through the automated registration and trading of flexible energy assets.

As the UK energy sector moves rapidly towards net zero, EDF is at the forefront of this transition. By working with ESG, EDF has automated asset registration at scale – unlocking new opportunities to aggregate and trade flexibility across thousands of assets, from electric vehicles to batteries and beyond.

EDF’s aim is to deliver greater value to customers and communities by enabling participation in a smarter, more responsive energy system. ESG’s Titanium Flexibility Market Interaction was selected for the solution’s market-leading automation and ESG’s proven expertise, empowering EDF to rapidly scale its flexibility services and respond to evolving regulatory demands.

“By partnering with ESG, we are supporting the shift to a more flexible, electric energy system and contributing to our mission of building an electric Britain. Their expertise and ability to deliver end to end flexibility solutions is helping us scale our services, give customers greater control, and unlock value from their energy assets at scale, which would not have been possible through manual processes.” – Christopher Dalley, EDF, Director of Business & Wholesale.

By combining our deep market expertise with real innovation in automation, we’re enabling our clients to lead the way in flexibility and deliver real value to UK customers.
