Why you should come?

Although energy prices have fallen significantly in the past two years, there is still considerable pressure both on Hungarian energy policy and the private sector to move towards greener, more energy-efficient and sustainable operations. This keeps a multitude of pressing issues at the forefront, from fossil fuels to the challenges of system integration after the solar boom to the use of other renewables, from grid development, power plant construction and energy communities to battery energy storage.

The trend towards electrification and greening represents numerous challenges, new rules and opportunities along the way, placing continuous pressure on all actors in the energy sector, from governments and regulatory bodies to fossil and renewable energy producers, traders and consumers, from grid operators and actors working in digitalisation and innovation to those involved in financing, business and legal advice.

Therefore, the Portfolio Energy Investment Forum, our traditional autumn energy summit, offers an exceptional opportunity for everyone to meet and get informed. Join us and experience it at our all-day, practice-oriented professional conference with several parallel sessions!
