The Brazilian Amazon region accounts for less than 1% of the national electricity load, but for nearly 10% of the sector's greenhouse gases emissions. This panel will highlight the growing competitiveness of renewable microgrids with energy storage and discuss public policies to promote the adoption of low-carbon solutions in northern Brazil.

On-shoring has become a new trend in the global renewable energy industry and is also a hot topic in Brazil. This panel will focus on the opportunities and challenges for creating a competitive local supply base for energy storage.

This is the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era, explained UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai last December. For the first time, the world community agreed to"transition away from fossil energy carriers" in order to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5° Celsius, sending a clear signal - also to investors. With a record deployment of 473 gigawatts of renewableenergy sources in 2023, we're on the right track, but we need to move faster, especially when it comes to expanding the required infrastructure such as grids, storage systems, and e-mobility. We will need sustainable solutions on all grid levels and in all sectors to meet the challenges of a renewable 24/7energy supply. How can the energy industry become climate neutral asquickly as possible? What challenges are utilities facing and how can they overcome them? Join us at our opening session, allow yourself to be inspired, and motivated to work towards a fossil fuel-free world!

The European Commission estimates that network operators will need to invest at least 170 billion euros in network digitalization and intelligence by 2030. Disruptive AI and GenAI technologies, digital twins and 5G are transforming society and redesigning our ecosystems at an exponential and unstoppable rate. This session will feature a critical discussion on the future of European innovation and industry, focusing on the implementation of these emerging technologies and their role in shaping the next phase of industrial transformation. Experts from various sectors will explore key topics such as the challenges and opportunities in network investment, the transformative effects of digitalization and AI, and collaborative approaches to addressing implementation challenges.
