For the third consecutive year, the Energy and Water Agency (EWA) together with the Institute for Sustainable Energy (ISE) will be organising the National Energy Conference. This year’s over-arching theme will be ‘Digitalisation of the Energy system’ and shall explore the intertwined nature of the energy and digital transitions, and how the latter is shaping the former.

The subject will be delved into from two different perspectives, that of the demand and the supply side. The first panel ‘Delivering a Digitalised Power System’ shall present global developments and how local operators are preparing for these challenges whilst ensuring robustness and resilience of our power system.

The second panel ‘Intelligent energy consumers will discuss the opportunities and challenges presented to consumers through the digitalisation of the energy system, whether they are indeed taking full advantage of these opportunities, and whether consumers are sufficiently prepared for this twin transition.

A third session is dedicated to the showcasing of ongoing research projects by the Energy and Water Agency, Institute for Sustainable Energy, UM and MCAST.

The conference is once again expected to bring together both local and international speakers from various energy sectors as well as academia to discuss topics related to the aforementioned. The audience which is expected to be a mix of policy makers, professionals, business entities, students and public officers, will also have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A after each session.

The conference will take place on Thursday 24th October at Villa Arrigo, Naxxar from 9am – 4pm.
