Over 200 Experts Passed on Their Knowledge at the E-world Congress

The E-world Congress was once again very well-visited with around 3,000 day guests. Over 200 experts were speakers and prompted discussions in 23 events. The largest individual event with around 1,400 participants was the 14th Expert Congress on Future Energies of EnergieAgentur.NRW ("North Rhine-Westphalia Energy Agency"). Markets, competition and the return to municipal ownership were important aspects of the conference entitled "Topical Electricity Subjects". The effect of new directives and future regulations for capacity and bottleneck management were analysed in the "Gas Trading" conference. The conferences devoted to future subjects such as smart energy, offshore wind power and CO2 storage alsoattracted an excellent number of visitors.
