Challenging statements were made:

You're not going to be selling energy in the future, you'll be selling life!" to quote Manon Janssen Chair of Topsector Energie and CEO, Ecofys. With this statement the tone was set for an inspirational Opening Keynote at European Utility Week.

Business model shift; utilities as a market facilitator: The market is evolving and radical decentralisation could see the DSO emerge in a new market facilitator role. 

Technology is proven and available: There must be a focus upon the business case. The priority now is insight, intelligence and implementation.

The clean energy revolution has begun!

It’s an exciting time for every one of us working in the energy field. The silent revolution from dirty fossil fuels to cleaner renewable energy is currently taking place across Europe, bringing with it huge opportunities and innovative solutions. European countries are working together to create a power grid that allows for more reliable power to be produced from renewables such as wind and solar energy. Energy Revolution Europe, co-located with European Utility Week, works with the entire landscape of energy experts and users, to make sure we achieve the goals set by the European Commission: Creating a green, safe and flexible future.

Our industry is already working together to create a power grid that provides more reliable power produced from renewables and it will be interesting to see how we move forward. We have invited leaders from government, suppliers, large corporate purchasers, Europe’s leading utilities and electricity generators from around the world to help expand your business models to keep up with the transition. Place yourself at the forefront of the energy revolution and mark your agenda for
an essential and inspiring 3 days of strategy, innovation and knowledge exchange.
