The discussion features leaders from three innovative energy companies: Sarah Capuzzo of Enostra Co-op, Julian Czernia of Equateur, and Andres Milgaard of ModStream Denmark. Each CEO presents a snapshot of their respective organizations' unique contributions to the energy sector. Sarah Capuzzo explains that Enostra is an energy cooperative prioritizing citizen involvement in the energy market. Initially starting as a supplier, they shifted focus towards community-owned collective plans funded by members to drive real change in the market. They emphasize raising awareness and improving efficiency among households and enterprises through a bottom-up approach. Julian Czernia discusses Equateur's efforts within France's heavily regulated market dominated by EDF. To differentiate themselves, Equateur employs blockchain technology to provide transparency for customers about their green energy sources such as biogas and solar power plants they select. This innovation aims to promote decentralized renewable energy solutions against centralized monopolistic systems. Andres Milgaard highlights ModStream Denmark’s history as an independent climate-friendly energy company since its establishment post-electricity market liberalization in 2006. His comments suggest that technological advancements have been integral from early on, aligning with digitalization trends before widespread adoption. Overall, these firms demonstrate diverse approaches towards fostering sustainable and decentralized renewable energies amidst challenging regulatory landscapes.

For the eighth time, the most innovative energy suppliers in the DACH region (German-speaking countries) will be honoured with the Energiewende Award (Energy Transition Award) in Munich on 20 June 2024 as part of The smarter E Europe, Europe's largest exhibition alliance for the energy industry. The award is aimed at energy suppliers whose commitment is driving forward the energy transition in the individual aspects (electricity, heat, energy efficiency and mobility). The winners of the Energiewende Award will present more detailed insights into the challenges of the energy transition for municipal utilities and their solution strategies in panel discussions during the award ceremony.The Energiewende Award will be extended to additional target markets for the first time in 2024. Other European energy suppliers from France, Italy and Denmark will also be invited to the award ceremony. The focus here is on municipal utilities that have a focus on renewable energies and stand out from other energy suppliers as so-called flagship projects. Based on their offerings in areas such as green electricity and green gas, PV systems and charging stations as well as their increased commitment to the energy transition, the lighthouses from the three countries will be invited to the award ceremony as role models and motivators for other municipal utilities.The initiators of the project are The smarter E Europe and EUPD Research.
