Other key sessions include ‘Conventional V Unconventional’, a hotly contested issue brought to the table by two leading energy experts. In what promises to be a potentially explosive debate, Alessandro Clerici, Honorary Chairman of WEC Italy, and Ingmar Wilhelm, Senior VP of Enel Green Power and President of the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, will address how renewable energy projects must compete with conventional technologies such as coal and nuclear, and how they can secure the necessary support and financing to progress in a fiercely competitive market. 

“This year’s panel discussions address the hot button issues leading the European energy industry debate,” says David Appleyard, conference director, Renewable Energy World Europe. “Our panel of top-level industry figures will address a broad range of topics in diverse areas such as grid integration, the financing of renewable energy projects, energy storage, and the operation & maintenance of renewable power plants, to name but a few.”
