GREEN ENERGY CONFERENCE

Date:22/09/2026 9:00 am
Location:InterContinental Athénée Palace, Bucharest
In 2026, green energy transformation enters a phase of accelerated deployment, driven by advanced technologies, reinforced climate policies, and rising consumer and corporate demand for sustainable solutions. Renewable energy sources—solar, wind, geothermal, and green hydrogen continue to expand as innovations in storage, digitalization, and smart grid integration enhance overall efficiency and reliability.
As Europe intensifies its efforts to meet the Fit for 55 targets and strengthen energy security, 2026 stands as a pivotal year for implementing large-scale renewable projects, scaling up green infrastructure, and enabling cross-sector decarbonization. This year’s conference brings together policymakers, investors, technology leaders, and major energy consumers to explore the next steps toward a resilient and climate-neutral energy system.
The Diplomat-Bucharest organizes on September 22, 2026 at the InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest, Le Diplomate hall, the 6th edition of the GREEN ENERGY CONFERENCE dedicated to the green updates in the energy field.
