The Rise of the Prosumer in Solar Energy

This Spring, Laurent Segalen was invited by Solar Power Europe to moderate a panel, during the Solar Power Summit, around the theme ”Winning the Flex challenges”.

The Speakers were:

• Andrea Wechsler, Member of the European Parliament, EPP, Germany
• Paula Rey Garcia, Acting HoU Renewables & Energy System Integration, DG ENER, European Commission
• Nick Bitsios, Head of Brussels Office, Metlen
• Juan Rivier Abbad, Head of Global Renewables Regulation, Iberdrola
• Vlasios Souflis, COO EMEA, Lightsource BP
• Jose Manuel Carvalho, Head of Renewable Energy JV & Partnerships, Arcelor Mittal

There is a European Policy being developed called the Green Industrial Deal. What is it? Does it work? Does it answer the current issues faced by Solar developers and Energy Consumers?

The panel confront the views of various actors, from policy makers to the private sector. A very lively debate with unexpected outcomes.  

We thank Walburga Hemetsberger and the whole team of Solar Power Europe for organising that great event
