grid and market integration

The European forum for market players and decision makers in the renewable energy industry
THE AGE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY:
GRID AND MARKET INTEGRATION
October 10 and 11, 2013 | Geneva, Switzerland
ORGANISER
PARTNERS
GREEN POWER: FROM NICHE
TO MASS MARKET
It is no longer just simply a question of how green power can be
successfully promoted and marketed; now, we need to consider
how renewable energies can be sustainably integrated into the market and grid. Market players and decision makers in Europe’s renewable energy industry will address these issues on October 10 and
11, 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Ambitious targets, political pressure and market liberalisation are
responsible for the fact that renewables are now a fixed feature in
the supply of power. In its twelfth year the European Conference on
Green Power Markets focuses on the growing significance of renewable energies and their integration into the grid and market.
Along with our partners AIB (Association of Issuing Bodies),
Eurelectric, SFOE (Swiss Federal Office of Energy) and VSE (Swiss
Electricity Industry Association), Vereon AG welcomes top-class
market players of the European energy industry to the Hotel
InterContinental in Geneva on October 10 and 11, 2013.
