THE BUMPY ROAD TO EXECUTION

  • 20 november 2025
  • 09:00
  • LOCATION: CAMPUS THE HAGUE
  • THE HAGUE
  • THE NETHERLANDS

Project execution in the energy transition space is both exciting and challenging. Once a project has been initiated and the design is in place, the realisation phase can present unexpected twists.


Our third event will discuss project execution complexities and how to overcome these to keep the pace in the energy transition and the importance of collaboration, new business models and pragmatism. Barriers that will be discussed include regulations and permits timelines, manpower needs for engineering and execution, rising costs, funding challenges and subsidies support, availability of infrastructure and materials, yard and factory capacity.

 
LOCATION: CAREL VAN BYLANDTLAAN 16 THE HAGUE

Updates will also be shared to registered ERC members via email and with ERC followers on LinkedIn.
