Political developments in recent months have demonstrated the need for a secure and independent energy supply for Europe. The success of the energy transition is linked to the accelerated introduction of a green hydrogen economy, in addition to the increased expansion of renewable energies.

The markets for small-scale photovoltaic systems and electric cars are growing quickly. A recent EUPD Research analysis reveals how an acquisition of a solar system can foster the purchase of an e-car.

Our future supply of electricity and heat from renewable sources relies on the different sectors of the energy system being intelligently intertwined – from energy generation and storage to distribution and use. And start-ups across the energy sectors are part of the push to unlock the key to that level of collaboration – digitalization.

The special edition of PV Tech, entitled "Bridging solar’s skills gap", focuses on the key trends in the solar industry: for example, the shortage of skilled workers in the PV sector - and other trends in technology development, sector coupling and plant operation, all of which can also be found at Intersolar Europe 2022.

Once a year, EUPD Research analyzes all 1,800 energy suppliers of the D-A-CH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) in the context of the "Energiewende Award“. Within the innovations platform "The smarter E Europe", the best energy suppliers with outstanding products and services related to energy transition were honored with the "Energiewende Award" yesterday.
