Hello, Flexi-readers! We are back with the latest edition of FlexiNews. 2027 is fast approaching and brings with it a boom in storage, flexible connections, and active management of demand flexibility. Opportunities are constantly growing, and so is Bamboo Energy.
Here we are again to tell you about the latest developments, what is to come, and above all, how to make the most out of every last kilowatt thanks to energy flexibility. Are you ready? Let’s get started! 👇

Red Eléctrica has just published the official schedule and conditions for the tender for the Service for Active Demand Response (SRAD) corresponding to the first half of 2027. If you manage industrial consumers, this is of interest to you (and a lot), because the new rules of the game bring better economic prospects.
According to the Official documentation published on ESIOS, These are the keys to the new conditions:
📅 Beware of deadlines! The stopwatch is already running. The retailers have until November 16th To request authorization and define which CUPS from your portfolio will participate. The bids for the auction will be submitted between November 25 and 26. Write to us at contact@bambooenergy.tech and we help you with the whole process!
The global energy storage market is not moving forward; runs fast. According to the latest Forecast report from BloombergNEF, We are on the verge of a historic biennium. The massive influx of renewables, the mandates of hybridization, and the need to avoid spillover and price cannibalization are catapulting batteries to the center of the system.
If you don't have time to read the entire report, here we summarize the main points. 3 definitive trends that will set the pace for the sector:
The Bamboo tip: As we see in our own clients, having the battery is only the first step. The true value (and return on investment) is unlocked when you operate it intelligently and participate in the different energy markets and flexibility. Write to us contact@bambooenergy.tech and we’ll tell you how.
And we keep talking about storage… In Spain, it’s booming like crazy. In fact, the portfolio of batteries with access to the grid already exceeds the entire installed wind power capacity, but the real revolution is being driven by a new star guest: Data Centers. Nevertheless, according to a Detailed analysis published in El Español-Invertia:
So, where are the opportunities?
The Bamboo tip: The hourly supply obligation turns data centers into giant players in energy flexibility. By integrating batteries to ensure their connection, these facilities will need aggregation platforms and optimization software to monetize them through new revenue streams in the adjustment markets.
Historically, the energy infrastructure of telecommunications has functioned like an insurance policy: battery banks sitting idle, accumulating dust, waiting for blackouts in the grid that rarely occur. What if we could transform that immobilized liability into an Virtual Power Plant (VPP) that generates income every day?
At Bamboo Energy, we have made this a reality. We have managed to get these batteries to participate in the balancing markets without compromising the security of the telecommunications network:
The Bamboo tip: The key behind these numbers is called Value Stacking (value stacking). It’s not just about buying cheap and selling expensive (arbitrage), but about our platform automatically offering this flexible capability in the adjustment services markets (mFRR, aFRR). It’s the ultimate paradigm shift: converting sunk costs (CAPEX) into a profit generator. For more information, click on this link.
We are proud to officially announce our commitment to United Nations Global Compact (UN Global Compact), The largest corporate sustainability initiative on the planet. What does this strategic milestone mean for our customer ecosystem and partners?
In October we packed our bags to take our technology to the various industry forums in Europe, and in addition, we bring home a recognition that drives us to continue accelerating:
From Solar & Storage Live (Paris) until The Business Booster (Munich), passing through the XIII Solar Forum of UNEF (Madrid), We demonstrated how the application of artificial intelligence and strategies value stacking It allows optimizing the use of batteries and photovoltaics, safeguarding the operational profitability of the assets and providing real stability to the grid against challenges such as energy spills or the «duck curve».
In addition, we have been selected among the 🏆 Top 5 in ‘Startups for the Climate‘, Valencia, In the «Energy and Storage» challenge promoted by Startup Valencia and Enisa. It is a great pride to see how the national ecosystem supports flexibility as a pillar of the transition! 🌍⚡
If October was intense, November is no respite. This month we are preparing the passport and the transport pass to be present at the two epicenters of the energy debate. Where is regulation, the network and the market headed? The answers are in Vienna and Madrid.
🇦🇹 Enlit Europe 2026 (Vienna, November 10-12)
The benchmark event for those designing the infrastructure of the future. Enlit Europe It brings together the giants of public services, system operators and technology providers from all over Europe.
🇪🇸 Genera + Matelec 2026 (Madrid, November 24-26)
IFEMA organizes the International Week of Electrification and Decarbonization, joining forces between the fairs Genera and Matelec to create the largest B2B ecosystem in southern Europe.
The Portuguese electricity market is in full swing and opening up a range of new opportunities for flexibility. Having an energy storage system is a great first step, but how do we move from managing individual assets to orchestrating a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) to connect them, add them together and optimize them in the different markets ?
To meet this challenge, we are waiting for you in our next event Free Webinar:
📅 Create your own VPP in Portugal
