Talk of session: 8th Energy Transition Award (partly in English or German)

For the eighth time, the most innovative energy suppliers in the DACH region (German-speaking countries) will be honoured with the Energiewende Award (Energy Transition Award) in Munich on 20 June 2024 as part of The smarter E Europe, Europe's largest exhibition alliance for the energy industry. The award is aimed at energy suppliers whose commitment is driving forward the energy transition in the individual aspects (electricity, heat, energy efficiency and mobility). The winners of the Energiewende Award will present more detailed insights into the challenges of the energy transition for municipal utilities and their solution strategies in panel discussions during the award ceremony.The Energiewende Award will be extended to additional target markets for the first time in 2024. Other European energy suppliers from France, Italy and Denmark will also be invited to the award ceremony. The focus here is on municipal utilities that have a focus on renewable energies and stand out from other energy suppliers as so-called flagship projects. Based on their offerings in areas such as green electricity and green gas, PV systems and charging stations as well as their increased commitment to the energy transition, the lighthouses from the three countries will be invited to the award ceremony as role models and motivators for other municipal utilities.The initiators of the project are The smarter E Europe and EUPD Research.

The smarter E Europe Conference 2023 | Conference Program

In this session, we aim to discuss the success factors for end-user sector coupling as a meaningful and cost-efficient way of meeting the EU's decarbonization ambitions, playing a viable role in supporting large-scale integration of decarbonized energy into our power systems. The panel will look at what steps we can take to ensure that end-user sectors (mobility, heating and industry) become a conduit for a resilient energy system and a sustainable Europe. This discussion will be formulated as a cross-sector debate to identify the operational challenges and business opportunities that the integration of efficient end-user sectors offer for grid stability and decarbonization.

Panel Discussion: Distributed Energy Resources & Consumer Empowering

Wednesday, June 14, 2023, 09:00 am - 10:30 am

The smarter E Europe Conference 2023 | Conference Program

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.
