Dresden Energy Summit 2027
The energy transition requires more than just the expansion of renewable energy generation—it calls for an entirely new, self-organizing system that fundamentally integrates climate and environmental sustainability, social acceptance, and economic competitiveness. The issue of supply security (including reliability, robustness, immunity to manipulation, self-healing, and resilience) is addressed systemically, so that volatility and uncontrollability inherent in the energy sources themselves do not constitute exclusion criteria.
- What might such a self-organizing, adaptive, and collectively effective energy system look like in practice?
- Which entity or entities control, regulate, and optimize cross-sector interventions?
- What overarching goals and interests does such an energy system serve?
- What requirements arise for communication and information structures, and what technical components are necessary to meet them?
Through an interdisciplinary format—keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive workshops—the event brings together high-caliber experts from academia, leading industry representatives (such as energy utilities, technology and plant manufacturers), and decision-makers from politics and regulatory agencies. The Energy Summit serves to outline these issues, provide food for thought, and foster networking among research, industry, and policy-makers.
