Euroheat & Power Summit 2026: Think bigger, electrify better

In July 2026, the European Commission unveiled its “Electrification Action Plan”, a strategy aimed at making the European Union the “first electro-continent”.

It is no coincidence that it calls for scaling up district heating and cooling networks. The key to successful electrification lies in going beyond individual solutions, tapping into the huge benefits of system-wide infrastructures to:

• Electrify heating and cooling through large heat pumps, e-boilers and thermal storage

• Increase energy efficiency through waste heat recovery

• Replace fossil fuels with abundant local renewable heat sources

• Make the EU energy system more resilient, flexible and secure
