Across Europe, renewable generation is expanding rapidly, electrification is accelerating in transport, industry and heating, and electricity demand is rising. Yet the infrastructure that must connect these developments – the electricity grid – is under growing pressure. Grid capacity, planning timelines, and investment cycles are becoming decisive factors for energy security, economic competitiveness and the pace of the transition.
This makes electricity networks one of the most strategic topics in today’s energy debate.
We are pleased to invite you to “Powering Energy Security and Growth: Electricity grids as the foundation of our competitive energy system”, a high-level seminar organised by KBVE-SRBE and Etch/EnergyVille in cooperation with ENTSO-E, bringing together subject matter experts, policymakers and industry representatives to exchange insights on the future of Europe’s electricity networks.
The seminar will be chaired by Dr Jan Declercq (KBVE-SRBE) and Prof Dr Dirk Van Hertem (KU Leuven/Etch/EnergyVille) and will feature a series of expert contributions, followed by moderated discussions allowing participants to challenge perspectives, compare approaches and exchange directly with peers.
Who should attend
This seminar is particularly relevant for policymakers, regulators, transmission and distribution system operators, energy companies, industrial electricity users, technology providers, engineering companies, universities, research institutes and stakeholders involved in the development of Europe’s energy infrastructure.
If electricity infrastructure, energy policy or industrial electrification is part of your responsibility today—or a strategic concern for the years ahead—this seminar will provide valuable perspectives to help navigate the next phase of the energy transition.
Reserve your seat today
Seats are limited and reserved for senior professionals and executives.
We look forward to welcoming you to this forward-looking exchange at the intersection of energy, infrastructure and policy.
Programme will be published very soon
