“What do you believe will be the single biggest bottleneck for the energy transition in Europe – capital, technology, or grids?”
Three potential constraints. Only one can be tackled first. Kristofer wants to know where the room thinks the real chokepoint is – because getting this wrong means wasting years on the wrong problem.
“What capacity of grid-scale battery energy storage systems do you expect to be deployed in Northwest Europe by 2030?”
Simon’s question cuts through the hype. Forget what’s technically possible or what policies promise – what do people working in the industry actually think will get built? The gap between ambition and expectation tells you everything about execution confidence.
“What can we learn (and what not) from other sector transformations, such as marketing, telco or banking?”
Energy isn’t the first sector to go through massive digital transformation. Telecoms did it. Banking did it. Marketing did it. The question: which lessons transfer, and which don’t? What should energy copy, and what should it avoid?
If Jesús could make everyone in the energy industry do one thing differently, he’d make everyone share data more openly and securely.
Not quite a question, but a challenge: if secure data sharing would unlock massive value for AI-driven optimization and sustainability, why aren’t we doing it? What’s actually stopping us – technology, trust, or competitive instinct?
Every question zeroes in on execution reality, cross-sector learning, industry collaboration, and honest assessment of constraints.
These leaders already know the transition is possible. What they want to understand: are we focused on the right problems, and are we being honest about the answers?
