With just a few days left before the lights turn on at the Brussels Maison de la Poste, Europe’s energy leaders are gearing up for the flagship event of the year: Power Summit 2025. Under the theme “Power Play,” this event promises to be the epicentre of Europe’s energy transition—where policymakers, industry giants and green transition innovators will come together to discuss a resilient and electrified future.
From high-level plenaries on competitiveness and security of supply, to cutting-edge tech showcases and an exclusive gala dinner, #PS2025 is your gateway to actionable insights and game-changing connections. Whether you’re talking PPAs, grid investments, or eyeing the next big partnership, here’s your playbook for maximising those upcoming action-packed two days. Let’s dive in.
Tackle Europe’s biggest energy challenges
Europe’s energy transition needs bold solutions. At the Summit, we will dive into three main themes shaping the continent’s future in this regard: accelerating electrification to slash emissions and boost industrial competitiveness, fortifying energy security amid geopolitical turbulence as well as addressing customers concerns through innovation. These challenges aren’t siloed either—they’re interconnected battles demanding collaboration and a multisectoral approach.
Don’t miss the first plenary session, where Accenture’s Andrea Falciai and Engie’s CEO Catherine MacGregor will debate strategies to align industrial and climate objectives. Later, the second plenary will explore supply chain resilience with NATO’s Jean-Charles Ellermann-Kingombe and Siemens’s Fergal Burke. Whether dissecting policy gaps or scaling clean-tech investments, these sessions will arm you with the insights to turn urgency into action.
Eurelectric flagships
- The new industrial age: a joint flagship with Accenture exploring tailored electrification pathways for improving European industrial competitiveness.
- Power2People: another joint flagship, also with Accenture, examining the importance of residential customers as one of the key stakeholders of Europe’s energy transition.
Talks that will power you up
You also get a chance to turn ideas into impact with Power Talks—dynamic sessions designed to supercharge your strategy.
- Learn how to scale Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) from Microsoft and LevelTen Energy, in order to unlock stable renewable deals.
- Debate DSO investment gaps with EY and GIIA, dissecting public-private financing models.
- Explore AI’s grid-straining potential in data centre demand talks with Google and EDP.
These 45-minute-deep dives blend expert keynotes, panel debates and real-world case studies. Pro tip: Don’t miss the fireside chat with GE Vernova’s Jim Walsh on accelerating the energy transition.
Rub shoulders with energy titans
Power Summit 2025 isn’t going to be just about exchanging ideas and gaining actionable insights—it’s also about who you might meet. Elda aside, you’ll be in attendance with top policy makers like EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen, as well as countless industry heavyweights including Leonhard Birnbaum (E.ON CEO and current Eurelectric President), Maud Texier (EMEA Energy Director at Google), and Philippe Kehren (CEO of Solvay). You’ll be able to swap strategies with policymakers during coffee breaks, brainstorm with innovators at the exhibition, or even debate decarbonisation over cocktails. Key moments:
- Kick off with the Welcome Cocktail at Brussels’ historic City Hall (on June 2nd)
- Day 2 at the exclusive Summit Dinner (hosted by Engie), where deals are struck and alliances will be made. Whether you’re scaling start-ups or steering utilities, these connections could redefine your next big #power play.
Explore cutting-edge innovations
Once you’re done winning and dining with the best and brightest of the power sector, you’ll be able to step into the exhibition area—a playground for tomorrow’s energy solutions. Discover innovations from giants like Accenture, PPC Group and ENGIE, or dive into sponsor showcases from Siemens, EY and CATL, unveiling everything from smart grids to next-gen batteries. For disruptors, the exhibition area will be buzzing with prototypes and pitches. Whether you’re hunting investment-ready ideas or trends shaping 2030, this is where the clean energy future becomes tangible.
Shape policy & partnerships
Meanwhile for policymakers, the Summit is also going to be a launchpad for driving Europe’s energy policy agenda. You’ll be able to dive into debates with MEPs Benedetta Scuderi and Thomas Pellerin-Carlin on balancing decarbonisation with industrial growth, or spar with other regulators over grid financing frameworks. Beyond the panels, the Summit will also foster the environment for public-private alliances: you’ll be able to potentially broker partnerships with utilities during coffee breaks, align with NGOs on just-transition strategies or co-design funding models with investors. Whether refining the EU’s Green Deal or localising REPowerEU goals, this is where policy meets practice—and partnerships turn ambition into action.
Conclusion
As Europe’s energy landscape continues to evolve at breakneck speeds, Power Summit 2025 is going to be one of its many critical moments—a forum where dialogue becomes strategy, and collaboration sparks transformation. From electrification debates to innovations reshaping grids, the event will crystallise the urgency of a just and competitive transition. For those shaping policies, scaling technologies or bridging investment gaps, participation isn’t merely about attendance—it’s about stewardship. With the clock ticking toward 2030 targets, the Summit offers a rare convergence of minds to align ambition with execution. Join us. Together, we’ll navigate the complexities of this #power play—and ensure Europe’s energy future leaves no one behind.
