The annual Energy Infrastructure Forum is organised by the European Commission in cooperation with the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities. It gathers representatives of the EU institutions, transmission system operators, project promoters, regulators, energy companies, NGOs and the financing community to discuss the challenges of accelerating the deployment of Europe’s energy infrastructure which will enable the achievement of EU’s decarbonisation targets.
