VGB Conference "Generation in Competition 2015" with technical exhibition
Renewables and Conventional - A Strong Team for Europe
The well-known VGB Conference “Power Plants in Competition“ will take place on 21/22 April 2015 under the new title „Generation in Competition 2015“ to visualize the expansion of the topic portfolio to renewable and decentralized power and heat generation. In addition, the motto “Renewables and Conventional – A strong team for Europe” underlines this orientation beyond the classical conventional power plant technology.
The goal of the conference is to discuss the joint action of renewable and conventional power generation within the dramatically changing market environments in Germany and Europe from a technical perspective. As the share of Renewables in Germany’s power production has nearly reached 30 % it is anticipating the development in Europe supported by politics and society. As a result it becomes clear that the challenges do not come from a step by step integration of new players in certain areas but that we have to face a structural transformation in the power and heat generation and supply system aiming at in a partnership of all technology options.
Despite the presentation of state-of-the-art solutions it will be important to highlight the future challenges and opportunities. As a key aspect we would like to discuss by integrating the grid perspective the mutual expectations as a basis for supporting a successful system transformation ensuring the main goals sustainability, cost effectiveness and security of supply.
VGB offers all participants a neutral platform to exchange experiences and gives a view on the technical future of the energy industry in Germany and Europe.
ExhibitionThe conference will be accompanied by a Foyer Exhibition, which gives exhibitors the opportunity to present their companies and/or products. If you are interested to participate at the technical exhibition please contact:
