Europe’s power system is undergoing a profound transformation.

By 2035, the EU is estimated to require around 60 GW of additional flexible capacity to ensure grid stability, integrate renewables, and maintain competitiveness.

Our speakers will address the key challenges Europe faces in delivering a secure energy transition and explain why firm and flexible capacity are crucial for grid stability. They will also explore pathways to cut costs and emissions while strengthening the power system and supporting competitiveness.

Join us for an evening of exchange on how Europe can secure its energy future while balancing flexibility, stability, and affordability.

We look forward to welcoming you to this debate and hearing your thoughts!
