📢#GRIDTech2024 reaches the 3rd and last panel: “𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑓𝑙𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚?” 💡 The discussion will focus on how flexible markets can contribute to the EU’s climate neutrality goals and support competitiveness. It will also examine how gas infrastructure plays a crucial role in enabling the flexibility needed to achieve these objectives. Moderated by Anne-Sophie Corbeau, Global Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy, Columbia | SIPA, this 50-minute session brings together top energy sector experts: 🗣 Charlotte Roule, President of Gas Storage Europe (GSE) and CEO of STORENGY 🗣 Joaquim Nunes de Almeida, Director, Mobility & Energy Intensive Industries, DG GROW, European Commission 🗣 Jeroen Sanders, Member of the Executive Board, Chief Transition Officer, Enexis 🗣 Annika Brack, Director, Head of Practice, Energy, Mobility and Sustainability, Centre on Regulation in Europe (CERRE) Charlotte Roule emphasised that optimising infrastructure systems is key to reducing energy costs for both industry and households, highlighting that having two complementary infrastructures—molecules and electrons—will be more cost-effective and efficient in the long run. As more volatile renewable sources are integrated into Europe’s energy system, flexibility solutions such as power-to-gas-to-power, especially via hydrogen, will be essential to stabilise and balance the system, ensuring energy security and supporting the EU's ambitious climate targets for 2030, 2040, and 2050. 🔔 Thank you to all participants and speakers for an inspiring and impactful discussion! 📅 Date: December 2, 2024 📍 Location: Brussels #EnergyTransition #Flexibility #GasInfrastructure #Hydrogen #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #ClimateAction
