The «EnergyCom» Senior Executive Conference is the leading independent platform for decision-makers in the Swiss energy industry. The interdisciplinary community is made up of an exclusive circle of personally invited energy suppliers and producers, technology companies, value creation partners, investors, science, associations, authorities and politics. The business-to-business platform makes an important contribution to strategically shaping the future of the energy market and the energy transition in Switzerland. The focus is on informal dialogue between managers and peers. The closed conference is media-free. The Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), EMPA, the ETH Energy Science Centre, the Swiss Gas Association (VSG) and the Swissmem trade association are actively involved as knowledge partners.
EnergyCom 2024
No energy transition without Grid infrastructure,
Data and Innovation Power
The electricity grid is the lifeline of the electricity supply and the enabler of the energy and climate strategy. The energy grid planning of thermal grids and gas grids must also be integrated synergistically. The further development, modernization and expansion of the grids require investments running into billions. And reliable framework conditions and an appropriate rate of return are key to mastering the challenges. Accelerated procedures for the further development of network infrastructures are also required at all levels.
EnergyCom 2024 brings the topics of grid infrastructure expansion into the critical discourse. The results of various ETH studies on the further development of the distribution grid will be presented and discussed.
Data infrastructures, their use and access are the core and what rules apply to "new business models" in Switzerland? Protection against cyber threats and compliance with minimum standards for electricity producers, grid and storage operators and gas suppliers is mandatory. Are energy supply companies fit for the AI era? And what does the 'Secure Swiss Utilities Network' initiative mean for the resilience of critical infrastructures?
With the "Mining the Atmosphere" research initiative, Empa is proposing nothing less than a paradigm shift: from a CO2-emitting to a CO2-binding society that utilises the greenhouse gas as a valuable raw material. The City of Zurich and Entsorgung + Recycling Zürich (ERZ) is in the process of realising CO2 negative emissions to achieve the 2040 climate neutrality target.
The circle of participants is made up of personally invited decision-makers from energy suppliers, investors, authorities and companies who are making an important contribution to the future of the Swiss energy market.
On behalf of the hosting partners, you are cordially invited to maintain a dialogue with your management peers.
EnergyCom - the Swiss energy industry's high-calibre platform for forming opinions and exchanging experiences.
