Making clean energy competitive and resilient

As Europe accelerates its energy transition, the challenge is no longer ambition but execution, says Jaroslav Macek, CEO of Elevion Group. Delivering clean energy that is both competitive and resilient will depend on faster permitting, smarter systems and the effective use of digital technologies.

Europe must find a balance between its green ambitions while staying competitive and resilient. Success means making clean energy affordable and reliable, supported by faster permitting, agile rules, smarter grids and the efficient use of private capital.

Digitalisation and electrification are central to this shift, helping to lower costs, increase energy security and support climate targets. While AI in energy is moving forward, progress remains limited without fully digital systems in place.

With extensive experience across renewable technologies and thousands of projects delivered each year, Elevion Group applies a technology-agnostic approach, implementing what truly fits and building long-term partnerships across markets.

This interview spotlights:

• Why digitalisation and electrification are essential for affordable, secure clean energy
• Why AI can only reach its potential after full digitalisation of energy systems
• How Elevion Group delivers practical, technology agnostic solutions backed by strong lifecycle support
• Why sustainability is both a personal lifestyle choice and a leadership principle

Watch the full interview to explore how innovation, pragmatism, and responsibility can move the energy transition forward, at scale.
