During this event, about 50 representatives from industry, policy and science discussed the topic “Energy Decarbonisation and Flexibility Needs -How can high shares of intermittent renewable energies efficiently be balanced?”
The workshop topic were addressed in three keynote-presentations and a panel discussion with following energy experts:
