Green week session 2: Legacy vs emerging energy systems Following the UK's lead in exiting coal

As Europe accelerates its energy transition, the shift from traditional fossil-fuel-based systems to low-carbon alternatives continues to gather pace. The UK, a nation that spearheaded the Industrial Revolution, has emerged as a leader in phasing out coal. But what does this transition really mean for energy markets, and is Europe fully equipped for the challenges ahead?

Join us for an insightful webinar where we’ll explore the key differences between legacy energy systems and emerging renewable technologies, drawing on the UK’s example to analyse how the European market can support this historic shift. What are the key differences between these systems, and is the European energy market still equipped to support this shift?

Key topics:

• Financing challenges and opportunities for new energy systems.

• Comparative analysis of cost structures, including externalities and fuel costs.

• Lessons learned from the UK, the country that started the first industrial revolution, on how to exit coal from the energy mix.
