“The Utility Week Flex Awards are back for a third year, bigger and better than ever. We’re proud to showcase and celebrate the achievements of all the people working so hard to get flexibility markets operating at scale – this is their moment to tell their story.” - James Wallin, Editor-in-Chief, Utility Week
What makes a successful entry?
Successful entries should show ambition, creativity, and measurable impact or insights in developing energy flexibility markets. See the category-specific criteria and highlight the broader benefits of your project, such as customer impact, net zero acceleration, and contributions to knowledge sharing and wider roll-out. You can start your entry and come back to it anytime before 13 February.
If your initiative, project, product, or strategy shows commitment and credibility, we want to hear about it!
