Newly appointed Portuguese Government to join Europe's leading energy transition event returning to Lisbon

The Lisbon Energy Summit & Exhibition will return to Lisbon, Portugal, from 27-29 May 2024, and H.E. Maria da Graça Carvalho, Minister of Environment & Energy for the recently appointed Portuguese government, will deliver the ministerial address at the Opening Ceremony, the organisers have announced.

The Lisbon Energy Summit & Exhibition, Europe's leading energy transition event, will welcome more than 3,000 visitors to FIL in Lisbon, Portugal – a world leader in new energies and technological innovation, from 27- 29 May 2024.

Creating Tomorrow’s Energy System Today

Under the theme “Creating Tomorrow’s Energy System Today,” Ministers, policymakers, project developers, investors and innovators will engage at a 3-day high-level strategic conference, sharing insights into transitioning the European Union’s energy system to one based on renewables and in line with the REPowerEU initiatives. Showcased across the exhibition's hydrogen & decarbonisation, solar and innovation zones are the products and projects that will deliver this cleaner, greener energy system.

The three programmes for the Strategic, Hydrogen & Decarbonisation, and Climatetech Conferences will cover the entire energy value chain at this crucial stage in its transition to net zero, with discussions on enhancing Europe’s energy security and decarbonising its energy supply.

Leading speakers to converge in Lisbon

“I am looking forward to speaking at the Lisbon Energy Summit 2024. This is a great opportunity to showcase our scalable climate tech solutions. Cost savings and predictability are of great importance for industrial clients wanting to decarbonise,” said Jobst von Hoyningen-Huene, CEO, econnext AG.

“I'm thrilled to join the Lisbon Energy Summit to discuss the pivotal role of energy storage driving the energy transition in Europe, as an opportunity not only to reach our net zero goals, but more importantly, to reboot EU growth and energy welfare,” said María Santa María, Head of Projects (BESS&H2), Iberia BayWa r.e.
