Powering the Future stage

Renewables-driven electrification, both directly and indirectly, a coordinated planning of the grid, flexibility, innovation and digitalisation are the key enablers for a competitive and secure net-zero future system. This holistic approach unlocks promising opportunities for new collaborations between the wind sector and other industries and shows up the important role of people and talent.

Together with Iberdrola, we invite you for three days of expert talks and interactive discussions on “Powering the Future” to better understand how we can be smarter with our energy use so it’s more sustainable, resilient and efficient. Engage with key players and trendsetters while learning about electrification of key sectors, flexibility, PPAs, innovation and startups, careers in wind and much more.
