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.
