Platone midterm conference "Growing the energy transition" on 14 and 15 September 2021 - boosting knowledge sharing and expertise for the energy transition.

The Platone midterm conference "Growing the energy transition" on 14 and 15 September 2021 was a great success. Above 180 participants joined the virtual conference and contributed to vivid discussions in our breakout sessions.


With speakers from ACER, smartwires, Alliander, dcbel, and NET2GRID we contributed to boost knowledge sharing and to help growing the European energy transition.

 

On Day 1 (14 September, 13.30 CEST) of the conference we discussed the future of flexibility and digitalisation. After a short input from our speakers we created dialogue that enabled an active discussion between the participants, our speakers and our Platone project. Starting from 15.30 CEST the GO LIVE event of the Italian Platone demonstration followed as an absolute highlight of the midterm conference.

 

On Day 2 (15 September, 09.15 CEST) strategies for consumer & citizen engagement and LECS in the energy transition were focussed. Again inspiring input from our speakers was provided and the chance to discuss and exchange views and approaches was successfully taken. From 10.45 CEST the German and Greek Platone demonstrations gained insights into their unique local activities and set-ups.
