Join us on 24 September 2026 for the first edition of the Loyens & Loeff EU Energy Law Conference in Brussels. This conference will bring together legal practitioners, policymakers and industry stakeholders to discuss the latest developments in European energy security and security of supply legislation.
About the conference
Europe's energy system is facing growing geopolitical, economic and climate-related challenges. As a result, security of supply has become a key policy priority across the European Union.
At the first Loyens & Loeff EU Energy Law Conference, we will explore the latest legal and regulatory developments shaping Europe's energy landscape and their impact on businesses, policymakers and industry stakeholders.
Topics
During the conference, we will discuss:
- Security of supply and risk preparedness
- Cybersecurity and resilience requirements
- Electricity grids and interconnections
- The growing role of energy storage
- Trade-related aspects affecting Europe's energy system
We are pleased to welcome Jeannette Baljeu (Renew Europe) as keynote speaker.
