Title: 30 innovations for a renewable-powered future
Content: New Energy Landscape Hub Series Episode
Date: 26 August 2020

Overview: The joint session with Initiate and IRENA discussed how the 30 innovations identified by IRENA in its “Innovation landscape for a renewable-powered future” project are accelerating the energy transition. The episode stressed the importance of a systemic innovation approach, meaning fostering innovation in four dimensions: enabling technologies, business models, market design and system operation. The role of those innovations were discussed in the context of the ongoing disruptive trends in the power sector: 1) digitalisation, 2) decentralisation and 3) electrification. These trends are changing paradigms, unlocking system flexibility for a high share of VRE penetration. They are changing the roles and responsibilities of actors and opening doors to new entrants in the sector.

Expert presentations were followed by a panel discussion, during which questions from the live audience were answered.
