The final seminar of WP2 within Nordic Energy Outlooks – The Nordic Energy systems programme (NEOs) takes place in Trondheim, Norway.

  • Time: 30th August 2022, 09:00-15:00.
  • Place: Strindvegen 4, Trondheim, Norway – don’t forget to register at siri.mathisen@sintef.no

The theme of WP2 is Increased electrification – new electricity generators and consumers. Read final report of WP2 here. The final seminar will in turn be divided into three blocks: Comparative study of the impacts of REPowerEU on the Nordic electricity market, Electrification in the Nordic area, and Suggestions from project regarding policy and research.

Ove Wolfgang, Research Scientist at SINTEF Energy Research, will open the seminar, while Kevin Johnsen, Senior Adviser at Nordic Energy Research and administrator of NEOs, is giving an introduction of the programme.

WP2 is the second work package in a series of four. The preceding and finished WP1 is about Bioenergy and links to agriculture & LULUCF in a Nordic context. Read more about it here.

WP3 will address Energy efficiency and conservation in a Nordic perspective, and WP4 will focus on Fossil free and resource efficient transport and transport infrastructure.
