This is EUSEW: our highlights from Day 3
Stepping into a carbon-free future
We have selected some of the standout moments from the third day of the event. Discover our highlights from EUSEW 2023 and rewatch anything you missed.
I don’t like the statement “we have to be carbon neutral by 2050.” That’s too late. Either we go big and fast, or we go bust.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Did someone say energy storage? Ensuring reliable, clean and low-cost energy supply for Europe
The more we invest in the energy transition, and the more we invest in renewables, the more we give thousands of young people to get a strong stable job going forwards

Markets will work better if we reduce – hopefully eliminate totally – the subsidies that go to the fossil fuel sector.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: The role of competitive clean energy technologies to implement climate targets for 2030
If you think challenge is fun - it will get much more fun. Think of steel, cement, aluminium, chemicals - all this stuff we’re sitting on and looking at. Decarbonising that will be a real challenge.

“Make the market work by adapting the electricity to gas price ratio, and manufacturing will follow” @ThomasNowakEU on the EU's net zero industry act at #EUSEW2023.

If we want to boost clean heat & clean jobs in ??, electricity should be no more than twice the price of gas! pic.twitter.com/BBm2MxrjlM
Listening to a panel on heating decarbonization. Public funding is frequently seen as a tool to derisk/attract private investment. What about poor households overlooked by private investors? Who will cover their transition? #EUSEW2023 #leavingnooebehind

System flexibility is the backbone for a zero emission power system by 2035, largely based on #renewables. For that to happen, the EU needs to go big and fast on flexibility by regulating #storage, #datacentres, #batteries and vehicle-to-grid technologies #EUSEW2023 pic.twitter.com/de0f1simDr

66% of solar in Europe comes from rooftop solar. The key to energy storage lies in home and a reform in net-metering and promotion of prosumers, energy communities and demand response.

This is EUSEW: our highlights from Day 2
Putting consumers and energy efficiency first
With a focus on affordability, inclusion, and energy efficiency, Day 2 was about putting consumers at the forefront of the energy transition. Keep reading for a selection of EUSEW highlights, and to rewatch anything you may have missed.
The most effective solution when it comes to energy poverty is to work on energy efficiency, and on a just and inclusive transition.

We need to create an environment where daily decisions will be climate-sound because they are cheaper, safer, quicker.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: The untapped potential of sufficiency to meet EU climate goals
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Leading the way: setting the vision for buildings in the EU's clean energy transition
There is a skill that we are missing [at local government], which is gender impact assessment, because we will find much more women among the energy poor.

For the energy transition to succeed it needs to work for all, not just for energy geeks. Energy sharing and communities are a tool to enable people to benefit from lower prices. But consumer rights need to be same as for 'traditional' energy market - @moniquegoyens #EUSEW2023 pic.twitter.com/8tCIw2GkPa

⚡️ Rewatch the session: Opening
I will not retire until 2060, so I’m really frustrated when people are talking about solving climate change for our children: it’s our generation that needs to solve the climate crisis and fix our energy system. This is about us.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Opening
The renewable energy industry wants to expand, but needs skilled employees, we need to respond with education, research, and most of all proving that jobs in the transition sector are attractive and have a future with an enormous potential.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Opening
If we want people to work on new solutions for the energy sector, we need to make these jobs more attractive than working at banks.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Opening
It's a fantastic opportunity today to train people and to reduce unemployment. It's not a problem. It's not a loss, it's a gain.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Debate with Ambassadors
Energy communities could be a potentially super powerful and revolutionary vehicle to transform our energy system. It is important that we envision a future together with people whose future is at stake.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: How can youth-driven energy communities shape the clean energy transition?
