System under voltage
The Handelsblatt Energy Summit is the annual kick-off event for the energy industry in Germany.
2026 will bring crucial changes: The power plant strategy for new gas-fired power plants will hopefully finally be implemented. At the same time, the newly restructured Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy will define the conclusions it intends to draw from monitoring the energy transition. The consequences for the expansion of renewable energies and for investments in grids could be considerable. And the announced reform of the Building Energy Act will also be implemented.
The success of these projects is crucial, as the energy system is under increasing pressure: security of supply, price stability, and transformation must be carefully balanced – in an environment of geopolitical uncertainties, regulatory upheavals, and growing technical complexity.
How can stability and flexibility be systematically anchored? What market and regulatory mechanisms are needed for this? And how can investment, innovation, and acceptance be bridged?
Discuss the key questions for the energy year 2026 with leading figures from politics, science and technology – at Germany's annual kick-off event for the energy sector.
