The event featured several sessions focusing on the critical aspects of speeding up large-scale energy infrastructure. Discussions covered the trade-offs between what should be done at national and European level, the investment needs and how to fund them, ways to improve project bankability and de-risking strategies, how to make better use of smart technologies and digital solutions, and how to address the specific challenges of developing hydrogen infrastructure.

Speakers also invited stakeholders to build on achievements and good practices already available, and encouraged promoters to keep sharing their experience, challenges and data with policymakers so that the Commission can adapt the policy framework and continue supporting Europe’s energy transition.
