Welcoming new Euroheat & Power leadership
The networking dinner at the Wereldmuseum Rotterdam was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow attendees and industry leaders. The event marked a significant moment with the introduction of the new Euroheat & Power leadership. We extend our congratulations to the new President, Janne Kerttula, and Vice President, Frans de Heij. Their commitment to advocating for DHC on the European stage will be crucial for the industry's continued growth.
On Day 2, we enjoyed a fantastic dinner at the Euromast, boasting amazing views of Rotterdam, to celebrate 🎉 Euroheat & Power's 70th birthday.
Collaboration for a decarbonized future
The congress highlighted the growing importance of DHC networks in decarbonizing energy systems. With over 8 million households projected to connect to DHC in Europe by 2030, robust regulatory frameworks and risk mitigation strategies are essential. Discussions emphasized the need for regulatory stability, streamlined customer experience, energy system integration, and fair cost distribution for sustained DHC sector growth.
