As renewables scale and electricity demand keeps rising, one question is becoming critical: how do we keep power systems reliable, affordable and resilient? In the latest Cleaning Up Podcast, our President and CEO, Håkan Agnevall, joins Michael Liebreich to discuss why flexibility is becoming essential in modern energy systems. As complexity grows, the focus is shifting from adding capacity to ensuring system-wide stability and cost-effectiveness. Flexible solutions, including balancing engines, energy storage and optimisation technologies, are critical to making this possible. And that’s exactly where flexibility makes the difference. Balancing technologies, energy storage and optimisation are key to stabilising renewable-heavy grids, meeting growing demand from data centres, and improving performance with AI. Fuel flexibility is also becoming critical for vessel owners navigating decarbonisation. The transition is not about one technology replacing another. It is about combining solutions to deliver real system value across energy and marine. At Wärtsilä, this system-level approach helps our customers build flexible, resilient and future-ready solutions that improve reliability while advancing decarbonisation.
