On May 16, 2024, the PwC Annual Conference for Energy-Intensive Companies, as part of the Energy and Climate Compass, took place in Düsseldorf. In collaboration with the Association of Energy-Intensive Industries in Germany (EID), a compelling review of the energy and climate policy developments of the turbulent year 2023 was presented. We were there to understand energy-intensive companies. Because last year was also characterized by heated discussions about Industrial electricity prices, Power plant strategies and rising Electricity grid charges, which kept industry and trade on edge.
Lectures & Debates on Key Energy Issues
High-ranking representatives from industry, business, and science sparked lively debates. Key topics ranged from strategic transformation until sustainable corporate concepts and the balance between regulation and competitiveness. As interested observers, we were able to witness firsthand how central questions that concern our clients were addressed. How are the Energy costs for energy-intensive consumers? What happens to grid fees and taxes? Which Relief are possible and how are ecological concessions handled?
Particularly exciting were the discussions about the successful implementation of projects in the field of renewable energies, the implementation of hydrogen projects, and the effects of the reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS II).
