What They Do
Flexcity specializes in aggregating electrical flexibility, optimizing demand response and short-term electricity markets through smart grid solutions. This includes the use of batteries, renewable energy sources such as distributed generation and wind power, as well as industrial processes like electrolyzers and electric boilers (power-to-heat). Flexcity does not focus directly on hydrogen or large-scale solar/wind energy development (source: flexcity.energy). Their main products and services include a proprietary platform for connecting, operating, and optimizing assets in markets such as intraday, day-ahead, and secondary reserve services (source: flexcity.energy). Target markets include balancing services and ancillary services in Europe, with clients in various sectors such as water treatment, waste recovery, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) (source: flexcity.energy). Flexcity has distinguished itself as a market leader since 2012, managing over 3 GW of flexible power, equivalent to that of a nuclear power plant, and was the first to innovate in aFRR aggregation in Belgium (source: flexcity.energy).
Projects and Background
Flexcity has completed several notable projects, including its integration into TenneT's aFRR market in the Netherlands in 2023 via Equigy's Crowd Balancing platform, which aggregates batteries and industrial processes for grid balancing (source: equigy.com). In France, the valorization of hundreds of Veolia Water's storage/inertia sites has been implemented over several years, along with the use of Orange's backup batteries since 2017 for demand response (source: flexcity.energy). In Belgium, projects such as the participation of the Aquiris wastewater treatment plant and the Beneo Orafti food site in aFRR have been completed (source: flexcity.energy). Ongoing projects include a BESS optimization in the Netherlands scheduled for January 2025 and the integration of the secondary reserve from Veolia's Lapouyade waste site in France (source: flexcity.energy).
Recent Developments
Over the past two years, Flexcity has announced several partnerships, including a collaboration with enspired for BESS optimization in the Dutch and Belgian markets, with initial contracts secured (source: flexcity.energy). The integration of the secondary reserve from the Lapouyade site in France is also planned for January 2025, marking a first for a waste storage site (source: veolia.com). In 2023, Flexcity successfully prequalified for TenneT's aFRR market in record time, demonstrating its agility and efficiency (source: equigy.com). No major acquisitions or external funding have been reported, with growth primarily driven by integration within Veolia since 2019 (source: flexcity.energy).
Working at Flexcity
Flexcity offers positions in product management, R&D, portfolio management, IT/data engineering, sales, and operations, with strong inter-team collaboration. Roles include positions such as Product Manager - Energy Flexibility Markets, focused on developing the platform for asset valorization (source: welcometothejungle.com). Recruitment is active at the Brussels headquarters (Saint-Gilles) for technical and product roles, with no specified remote work options (source: linkedin.com). The company culture emphasizes the agility of a startup with the support of Veolia, innovation at the core of operations, and transparency in processes (source: flexcity.energy). While specific benefits are not detailed, roles highlight impactful work in the energy transition, with potential benefits related to Veolia's ecological transformation initiatives (source: welcometothejungle.com).
