The Handelsblatt Live - Energie Events 2026 in Berlin marked the strategic kickoff for Germany’s energy sector this year — three days of intensive dialogue under the theme “System unter Spannung” ⚡🇩🇪 Against the backdrop of geopolitical pressure, regulatory change, and rising investment needs, leaders from politics, industry, science, and finance discussed how the German and European energy system can remain secure, flexible, and affordable while undergoing profound structural transformation. Key discussions ranged from power plant strategy and grid expansion to market reforms, infrastructure financing, and the balance between supply security and the energy transition. Our CEO, Björn Heidrich, also attended the conference, engaging in discussions on the challenges shaping Europe’s energy transition. We valued the perspectives and contributions from a remarkable group of speakers, including: Fatih Birol (IEA), Michael Strugl (VERBUND), Dr. Nina Scheer (SPD), Dr. Anne Bendzulla (ENERTRAG), Prof. Dr. Dennis-Kenji Kipker, Prof. Dr. Markus Roth (Focused Energy), Milena Roveda (Gauss Fusion), Lucio Milanese (Proxima Fusion), Eric Stab (ENGIE Deutschland), Adi Roesch (LEAG), Felix Faber (Shell Germany), Nina Scholz (Equinor Deutschland), Carsten Schneider, Michael Kellner (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), Patrick Lammers (Skyborn Renewables), Andreas Feustel (IKB), Thorsten Volz (Simmons+Simmons), Manfred Ackermann (ELE), Thomas Stephanblome (GETEC), Christian Hartel (WACKER), Luisa Neubauer (Fridays for Future), Stefan Mueller (Enerparc), Tim Meyer (3EPunkt), Stefan Dohler (EWE), Werner Götz(TransnetBW), Vincent Policard (KKR), Hans-Martin Hellebrand (badenova), Andreas Feicht (RheinEnergie), Dr. Andreas Langer (Deloitte), Felix Plog (thermondo), Georg Nikolaus Stamatelopoulos (EnBW), Greg Jackson (Octopus Energy), Veronika Grimm, Robert Zurawski (Vattenfall), Uwe Lauber (Everllence), Michael Lewis (Uniper), and Katherina Reiche, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy. Events like this underline one thing clearly: the energy transition is no longer a theoretical debate — it is a system challenge that requires coordination, investment, and execution across the entire value chain.
