The UK and EU face shared challenges in energy security, affordability, climate policy, and supply chain resilience. The need for a close cooperation has never been greater. This discussion will explore how the UK and EU can work together to address these pressing issues, leveraging their collective strengths and shared goals.
Collaboration across Europe will be key to scaling up renewable energy capacity and developing interconnected grids to support the energy transition. Strengthening partnerships can help drive progress toward more resilient energy systems.
This event will provide an opportunity for policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to discuss the pathways for advancing energy security, fostering renewable energy development, and ensuring robust grid infrastructure across Europe.
We look forward to a fruitful discussion!
