The challenges within the Dutch energy sector have gained increasing
visibility in the media, with instances of solar panel owners unable to
contribute to the grid and new construction facing connectivity issues
due to grid overload. Despite the growing prominence of these issues,
technological solutions are on the brink of implementation, paving the way
for a sustainable energy grid in the near future.

The Energy Now congress of 2024 will be a platform to facilitate the
necessary discussions and partnerships required to establish a resilient
and future-ready energy network. Energy Now aspires to leave a lasting
impact on society by addressing energy grid congestion problems. It aims
to establish a robust platform for energy holarchy, accelerating progress
toward an affordable, green, and reliable energy landscape.

This year’s edition of Energy Now also aims to serve as a catalyst for
Eindhoven and Helmond to become leading net-zero-emitting cities in
Europe. To initiate this transformative journey, extensive communication
and collaboration are imperative.

By ‘Securing energy for everyone’ the focus shifts towards developing
reliable smart grids. These grids should incorporate storage solutions and
diverse pathways to ensure a consistent and dependable supply of heat and
electricity. Additionally, efforts towards decarbonizing the energy supply
are imperative for a sustainable future.
