Session description
Europe is at a crossroads, facing the consequences of its energy dependency on external fossil fuels. To close the cost gap with global competitors and achieve energy independence and competitiveness, we must develop renewable sources and adapt our industry. Electrification will be key for tapping into Europe's cheapest energy. Additionally, grids, energy storage, and flexibility will be crucial for our future energy system.
