Turning Energy Risks into Strategic Opportunities
Turning Energy Risks into Strategic Opportunities
In an energy system defined by volatility, congestion, and ETS I & II, there is no quick-fix solution but only coherent strategies. In the Shift Session, we show you how we build and deliver them together. Join us.
Belgium’s industrial pioneers are optimising compressors, e-boilers, CHP, and batteries to maximise flexibility and operate at the lowest marginal cost—reducing energy spend, managing market volatility, and unlocking new revenue streams.
Is your organisation equipped with an energy roadmap that goes beyond cost savings by leveraging flexibility and smart processes to stay resilient and competitive?
At AYA, we work alongside industrial leaders to turn ambition into advantage: building the systems that make sustainability and profitability go hand in hand.
The Energy Shift Session gives you practical insights and real-world examples to help you build resilience and long-term value.
Why attend?
- Discover how to turn energy risks into strategic growth
- Get insights on building a coherent energy roadmap across assets, sourcing, and electrification
- Take the right decisions in investments over time, adapting as technologies, legislation, and markets
- Learn how flexibility reduces costs and imbalance exposure
- Understand how to optimise grid connection and capacity with the Flexibility Hub
- Explore the full value of on-site assets—like batteries, CHP, e-boilers, heat pumps, and MVR—by optimising them for flexibility and running them at the lowest marginal cost.
- Gain insight into how traditional contract models are being challenged by growing imbalance costs, price volatility

Welcome & Introduction – Eric Dierckx, General Manager
Turning energy risks into strategic opportunities
Flexibility in the Belgian Energy System
Keynote insights from ELIA
- How flexibility is already reshaping the Belgian energy system today
- The concrete role of industrial players in providing flexibility
- Turning flexibility into a lever for lower costs and new revenue streams
The Future of Energy Management
Strategy – Hans Taverniers, Head of Strategy
- A robust energy strategy is not optional—it
is essential to remain future-proof. It enables us to stay in control of our
energy supply, costs, manage risks, and capture opportunities in the transition
to a low-carbon economy.

Flexibility – Antoine Delhaye, Head of Flexibility
- Mitigating grid connection and capacity issues
- Shifting variable load to reduce tariffs and exposure
- Valorise assets on a cross-market optimisation with a multi-market staking optimisation
- How the Flexibility Hub unlocks growth within existing connections
On-Site – Loes Vandenbussche, Head of On-Site
- Discover how to optimise existing assets, such as cooling systems, compressed air, or CHP, and integrate new assets, like batteries or e-boilers, to create value without impacting core production.
Traditional –Freek Libbrecht, Head of Traditional
- Managing imbalance exposure and calculating imbalance fees
- Building resilience against structural price volatility
