WEBINAR

Securing the future of European energy

Navigating supply, security and sovereignty in a fractured geopolitical landscape

Now available on-demand

As geopolitical tensions ramp up on a global scale, fundamental vulnerabilities are being exposed in how Europe sources, stores, and distributes power. For European energy companies, the imperative is clear: build resilience through diversification while reducing dependencies that leave the continent exposed. But translating this ambition into action raises complex questions about infrastructure resilience.

Without massive infrastructure transformation and strategic resource sovereignty, Europe risks an energy crisis that could cripple economies, compromise security, and undermine the green transition itself. This webinar confronts the hard choices ahead.

Discussion points:

How has the industry’s understanding of energy security evolved since 2022?
How should Europe prioritise between dispatchable baseload, renewable capacity and energy sovereignty?
Is true energy independence achievable or should Europe focus on strategic diversification?
Avoiding new vulnerabilities: how should Europe structure energy relationships?
Modernising Europe’s energy infrastructure: what must be done to guarantee reliability?
Towards better scenario planning: what investments in the grid are non-negotiable to build necessary capacity?
Cyber risk: how has the geopolitical picture evolved? How must the industry respond?
The return of nuclear: how can cost and deployment challenges be overcome?
How can Europe manage the transition without pricing its industries out of global markets?
