Redesigning Industrial
Energy Systems

The 3rd Industrial Energy Infrastructure, Power & Thermal Systems Summit is a specialised two-day conference dedicated to the redesign and optimisation of energy systems across large, energy-intensive industrial sites with €10M+ annual energy spend operating under rising costs, grid constraints and increasing electrification pressures.

Focused on power availability, thermal systems and plant-level energy integration, the summit delivers deep operational and investment insights across the full lifecycle of upgrading and managing industrial energy infrastructure.

Attendees engage with leading industrial operators, utilities leaders, engineering experts and technology providers to explore practical approaches for securing reliable power, redesigning thermal systems, integrating on-site generation and storage, and optimising energy performance at scale.
