WSED 2024: Energy Efficiency now – fast, smart, resilient!

The next European Energy Efficiency Conference—themed "Energy Efficiency now - fast, smart, resilient!"—is scheduled for 6-7 March 2024 in Wels, Austria. As part of the World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED), the conference aims to address how to actualize ambitious energy efficiency policies and enhance market demand in light of crises such as price volatility, geopolitical instability, and climate change. As an annual event attracting over 650 participants from over 60 countries, the conference is set to feature the EENOVA EU Project launch and findings from the DEESME EU Project. The event will present over 60 speakers from around the globe discussing topics like policies, market developments, financing options, e-mobility, and industrial decarbonization. Participants will have opportunities for networking, peer exchange, and exploring new collaborations while engaging with a tradeshow on energy and buildings. Highlights for 2024 include discussions about the new Energy Efficiency Directive, the push towards net-zero, and the local and regional energy transition. Registration and additional information are available on the conference website.
