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.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
