Seminar Program
The electrification is key for Sweden to succeed in the climate transition while maintaining – or rather strengthening – our competitiveness.
The program for VIND2024 reflected this through the conference themes of the robust electricity system, investment conditions for wind power, security policy, and the EU’s role in the transition.
