European Energy Transition Leaders to Convene in London for Critical Summit on Sustainable Future
Following the successful conclusion of their Global Energy Transition 2022 event in New York City, Reuters Events is maintaining its premier Energy Transition event lineup with a strong focus on Europe. Amidst the backdrop of the EU’s REPowerEU Plan—which aims to mitigate reliance on Russian fossil fuels while enforcing significant climate measures—the urgency within the European energy transition landscape is mounting. The Reuters Events: Energy Transition Europe 2022, scheduled for November 15-16 in London, will serve as a critical gathering for European energy leaders as they confront these pressing challenges and outline strategies for establishing a sustainable energy system across the continent.
The European energy sector is ripe with transformative innovation, spanning areas such as electrification, hydrogen technology, carbon capture and storage (CCS), electric vehicles, digitalization, and clean tech advancements. Heightened geopolitical tensions have underscored the pressing need for energy self-sufficiency, making the swift advancement of the European energy transition crucial for ensuring a sustainable, secure, and low-carbon energy future—a process that is already underway.
Over 50 prominent figures, including CXOs, ministers, and European Commission representatives, will share their strategic insights and experiences that are driving Europe’s foremost energy entities through this transition. There is a collective imperative to devise strategies for generating secure, clean, and cost-effective energy throughout Europe. This includes exploring leadership strategies at the board level, addressing questions about transition financing, delving into the role of market governance and business model innovation, identifying pivotal technological innovations, and crafting roadmaps for a decarbonized, electrified European grid.
Solar power stands out as a key renewable resource and a crucial technology for unlocking Europe’s transition potential, due to its foundational role in the renewable energy sector.
Emphasizing the importance of in-person gatherings, Luke Brett, Project Director for the Reuters Events Energy Transition team, remarked, “The remarkable success of the New York summit reinforced the value of such interactions for key organizations involved in climate action.”
Bringing together energy leaders, policymakers, and investors is vitally important at this juncture. Both the team and I are excited to witness the enthusiasm and dynamism from the community as we challenge existing paradigms, asking whether European energy stakeholders are progressing sufficiently fast and far.
The call for action will be amplified by influential speakers, including:
– Josu Jon Imaz, CEO of Repsol
– Simone Rossi, CEO of EDF
– Will Gardiner, CEO of Drax
– Ana Paula Marques, CEO of EDP Spain
– Greg Jackson, CEO of Octopus Energy
– Christina Verchere, CEO of Petrom
– Philippe Ducom, President of Europe, ExxonMobil
– As Tempelman, CEO of Eneco
Additional notable speakers will be unveiled soon.
