Panel Discussion & Award Ceremony Denmark & Italy

Recording of Thursday, May 08, 2025 | The smarter E Europe | Exhibition Program | Language: English | Duration: 23:40 .

For the second time, the Energy Transition Award will be presented internationally, recognizing the most innovative utilities from France, Italy and Denmark that are leading the way with their innovative approach to renewable energy and sustainable solutions. The Energy Transition Award recognizes energy providers that are considered beacons for their focus on renewable energy, PV systems, charging stations, green electricity and their commitment to the energy transition. These role models should motivate and inspire other energy suppliers to adapt their strategies to the growing demands of a sustainable energy supply. Panel discussion: Inspiration for Europe. Key Drivers from France, Italy and Denmark will present their solutions and strategies in an exclusive panel discussion that address the specifics of their respective markets. Participants will learn first-hand how the energy transition is being driven forward in these countries, what challenges have been overcome, and what innovations can serve as models for Europe. With the Energy Transition Award, The smarter E Europe and EUPD Research recognize lighthouse companies that serve as role models through their commitment and innovation. The aim is to promote knowledge sharing and inspire energy utilities across Europe. Immediately following this session, the most innovative utilities in the DACH region will be honoured from 2:30pm-3:45pm. Please note that the panel discussions and the Award ceremony of the Energy Transition Award (DACH region) will be held in German.

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.
