The focus will be on the new regulations for bioenergy and combined heat and power (CHP), expected this autumn, as key elements for ensuring security of supply and greater flexibility. The panel will provide an opportunity to assess the new regulatory framework, which is due to come into force no later than 1 January 2027, and its implications for decentralised energy supply. Together with industry representatives, we will discuss the opportunities these changes will create for investors and operators. Particular emphasis will be placed on decentralised solutions based on gas engines, which can make an important contribution to a reliable and flexible energy system.
