Crisis and opportunity: Your role in the power switch
WHY IS THIS FOR YOU?
The Covid-19 pandemic is sending a shockwave through the electricity generation and consumption industries. The transition to renewable sources in general, and wind power in particular, is likely to accelerate at a rate only imaginable a few months ago.
Windpower Monthly’s Next-Generation Energy: Beyond Covid-19 event provides the forum for informed discussion and wide-ranging debate on how the sustainable-energy sector can seize this opportunity. The event brings together the leading lights and most innovative thinkers working in the clean energy sector today. They will be presenting their arguments, answering questions and networking with the audience on a digital platform that delivers all the features of a live conference. The next big step in energy is no longer a generation away. It’s now.
Join your peers, thought-leaders and technology experts in this forum to examine the role the wind power sector should be playing as the energy transition moves to a power switch.
Why an online event?
We’re looking forward to hosting events on our new online platform. We know you’ll welcome the opportunity to feel connected to your peers and fully engage with speakers and content from the comfort of your chosen work space. You’ll be able to ask questions during sessions and build essential connections through our app’s networking function during networking breaks.
As well as taking part in the live event you’ll be able to go back and review all the action for up to 3 months.
There is no better time to immerse yourself in the world of online events.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING
“The title of this event is perfect, because even as the EU reconsiders its 2030 and 2050 ambitions for energy policy, it has an immediate issue with 2020. This year will be crucial in the fight against climate change, as EU Member States struggle to meet their 2020 climate and renewable energy targets in transport. I look forward to sharing a version for how renewable ethanol can play a role in the EU Green Deal over the short, medium and long-term”
“Delivering the EU Green Deal requires ambition and innovation from all corners of the energy sector. I am looking forward to discuss new ideas and solutions at Next Generation Energy 2020”
"Collaboration and communication will be key for the next phase of the green transition, yet with an increased complexity and where speed is of essence.For that reason, I am looking forward to joining the discussion at Next Generation Energy 2020 in the cross road of the policy and industry, while showcasing and exploring how new competences can help generate mindset change and a new level of innovation culture."
"Within a few weeks [of the Covid-19 crisis], governments, companies and citizens were able to shift paradigm so as to tackle the immediate crisis. I believe the same should be true for the climate change risk that is just ahead of us. We have no more excuse and therefore we have to join forces to grab the momentum and have concrete energy paradigm shift happening as of today."
“Facing the unprecedented challenges during this COVID-19 crisis and its significant impact, it’s critical that all stakeholders can make a joint effort by continuing to push for meeting the long term decarbonisation objective while we are dedicating to the short term social and economic recovery. "
"Wind and sun never send a bill, but we will only profit from them if we put our money where our mouth is. The EU needs to be at the forefront of the next industrial revolution that is fuelled by renewables."

Next Generation will allow you to:
Virtually collaborate
A core purpose of the Next Generation Energy is to bring together policy makers, investors and clean energy industry leaders to collaborate, debate and develop better policy frameworks in order to help the industry combat the dual challenge of satisfying increasing energy demand whilst reducing GHG emissions.
Gather insights You Can’t Find On the Internet
Next Generation Energy goes beyond what is you read after receiving a google alert. Nowhere on the internet will you find some of the key industry leaders and policy makers debating the future of the energy industry side-by-side and in front of your eyes with the opportunity for you to be a part of it.
Learn from The Renewable Energy sector
Next Generation Energy is a platform designed to facilitate collaboration between wind power, solar power and other clean energy producers whilst also considering how different renewable energy technologies interplay with the latest innovations that are positioned to disrupt the perceived future energy mix.
gather non-biased opinions
As Windpower Monthly is an independent organisation and not a lobbying or member body we are able to deliver a balance of expert perspectives expressing alternative few points.
THE ULTIMATE PARTNERSHIP:
Windpower Monthly, the foremost authority in the wind power industry, and ENDS Europe have partnered to bring you content that will look into the longer term implications of an unprecedented crisis in relation to the wind industry.
