High wholesale prices are putting the value of energy flexibility firmly into focus.

Across the GB market, electricity prices are currently being influenced by persistently high gas prices alongside the seasonal increase in winter demand. Gas-fired generation continues to play a significant role in setting wholesale electricity prices, making periods of peak demand particularly valuable for flexible assets. For Joulen customers, that volatility is creating opportunity.

Through intelligent optimisation and access to energy markets, flexible assets can respond when the system needs them most. Right now, Joulen customers are selling flexibility across the evening peak at prices of £250+/MWh.

It is a clear example of how battery storage and other distributed energy assets
with the right forecasting, optimisation and market access, can actively respond to changing market conditions, unlock additional revenue and support the wider electricity system at the same time.

That is flexibility in action.

Battery storage in social housing has the potential to deliver more than lower energy bills.

Through our partnership with Kight PowerHub, Joulen is helping extend the value of domestic battery storage beyond the home, creating the potential for eligible assets to participate in flexibility and energy markets as part of a Virtual Power Plant.

For residents, that can mean smarter use of solar generation and lower-cost electricity. For housing providers, it creates the opportunity to manage distributed energy assets more intelligently across their portfolios.

And for the wider energy system, it means unlocking more flexibility from assets that are already installed in homes.

Kight PowerHub brings together long-life battery storage, intelligent home energy management and portfolio monitoring. Joulen adds the optimisation, market access and trading capabilities needed to help those assets work harder and create additional value, subject to market conditions and the commercial model.

This week, Gareth Boyd from Joulen & the Kight team will be at the Northern Housing Consortium Summit in Leeds following its appointment to NHC Procurement’s Batteries and Solar PV Framework.

It is a strong example of what becomes possible when procurement, technology and energy market capability are brought together, supporting better outcomes for residents while helping housing providers build more flexible, future-ready energy portfolios.

While storing electricity is the most widely understood function of a battery, its role and value extend far beyond that.

In this latest insight piece, Head of Sales Gareth Boyd breaks down the full opportunity into the 5 S’s of energy storage:

Store. Shift. Save. Sell. Store.

A simple framework for understanding how BESS can work harder, respond smarter and create more value across the energy system.

The market has matured, and the conversations have become more sophisticated. Solar & Storage Live 2026 made that shift particularly clear.

The discussion has moved beyond why flexibility matters and increasingly beyond how it works towards, quite simply, how do we unlock its commercial value?

We had excellent meetings with customers, partners, installers, developers, asset owners and businesses operating across the industry value chain while our interactive demos of Joulen Flex and Joulen Trade showcased how we optimise flexible assets and enable participation in energy markets to create new revenue streams.

We were joined by guest speakers Patrick Goodman from ev.energy. and Paul Gregory from Sentinel EMS for live sessions that brought different perspectives on flexibility in practice from technological, commercial, consumer and regulatory data points.

And, away from the formal programme our Guinness Happy Hour gave everyone the chance to keep the conversations flowing.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us!

Here’s a round-up of our key takeaways summarised by Gareth Boyd ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e8HAPi6u

It was a pleasure to welcome David Roberts from HDM Energy to the Joulen stand at Solar & Storage Live this week as we begin a new Joulen Flex partnership.

Joulen Flex is the complete flexibility-as-a-service proposition which combines intelligent asset management and optimisation with expert energy market trading to create additional revenue for asset owners.

For HDM Energy, this opens new opportunities to extract greater commercial value from flexible C&I assets, integrating flexibility and market participation into its wider energy solutions.

We’re delighted to welcome HDM Energy and look forward to building on the collaboration in the months ahead, starting with an initial pilot project in the coming weeks.

We’re pleased to announce that Joulen is now a member of the Energy Storage Association (UK), formalised today at Solar & Storage Live 2026 with Jason Howlett from the ESA, alongside Joulen’s Gareth Boyd and Rishi Mehta.

Our membership strengthens Joulen’s engagement with the UK energy storage sector and creates new opportunities to collaborate with the organisations shaping the future of energy storage, flexibility and clean energy.

Engagement will be critical to developing the markets, technologies and approaches needed to unlock the full potential of flexible energy assets.

We’re looking forward to working alongside ESA members, contributing to industry discussions and sharing our experience across optimisation, flexibility and energy trading as the sector moves forward.

At Solar & Storage Live, we were pleased to mark the start of our new partnership with Kight PowerHub.

This partnership combines Kight PowerHub’s battery technology with Joulen’s Trade proposition, enabling residential battery assets in social housing to participate in energy markets. For social housing associations and social landlords, this creates an opportunity to unlock additional value from those assets while crucially delivering lower energy costs for tenants.

Thank you to Angus Flett, CEO of Kight Powerhub and David Keane, Head of Marketing for joining us!
