EUW 2016 focuses on how to meet COP21 commitments
European Utility Week (EUW), has unveiled this year’s conference programme.
The event, which is taking place at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Spain, from 15 to 17 November 2016, is set to address the challenges created for the utility sector in meeting the EU’s climate change targets.
The event will attract over 12,000 visitors who will be able to attend the summit or hub session programmes.
The event this year also has two new features addressing the topical issues of renewables and climate change. The first is the Energy Revolution Europe feature, which will be part of the exhibition with a dedicated zone and hub session programme.
The second will focus on Intelligent Buildings Europe.
Partner countries Denmark and Italy will feature throughout the sessions as two European countries that have focused on increasing renewable energy generation and fighting climate change.
While Denmark is planning to produce 70% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, Italy has increased its renewable energy production to reach COP21 goals.
Show director Paddy Young said: “EUW represents a unique opportunity for utilities to connect and discuss the trends of the industry. The Paris Agreement last year was a wake-up call to the energy sector. Climate change and renewable integration are the dominant themes of our time and EUW is the space for utilities to discuss how they can contribute.
“Our country partners, Denmark and Italy, are two leading examples that will act as an inspiration for the industry in their efforts to meet climate change targets.”
