CONFERENCE: REPowerEU: A New Beginning

  • 14. 11. 2022

  • Brussels

Climate action and energy security continues to speed across Europe but the questions become more important. The conference will offer insights into the ongoing transformation of the European energy sector from experts from the Czech Republic and our European guests. This roundtable session will introduce key messages and strive to answer the fundamental question: “What should we do now to be prepared for the future?”, from the European, Czech and DSO perspectives. EU wide demands must be supported by unique and locally appropriate national on-tops and afterwards executed in the distribution grid systems.
