Harvard Energy Chat – "Turning Point Energiewende"
Join us at our inaugural Harvard Energy Chat!
At our informal panel discussion titled “Turning Point Energiewende”, we will discuss burning questions surrounding the Energiewende, such as:
► What were the Energiewende’s achievements? Its failures?
► What should be the next steps?
► Is it a German issue, a European one, or a global one?
► What role should each actor – industry, grid & market operator, research, policy-maker, startup, etc. – play in it?
After the panel discussion, you will be given the chance to pose questions to the panelists. We are aiming for a panel of diverse leaders and thinkers to cover the perspectives of industry, grid & market operator, research, policy-maker, and startup to reflect the complex and inter-dependent nature of the Energiewende.
