Curious how batteries can offer reliable and affordable solutions for the various challenges the construction industry is facing? On February 13, this will be made tangible by Flux50, UGent and POM Oost-Vlaanderen, in cooperation with Embuild.
How can you reconcile a limited grid connection with high consumption peaks? What solutions does the market offer for the electrification of construction sites? Which innovations are coming our way and how can they arm us against fluctuating energy prices or grid congestion?
Enjoy a varied program with experts and testimonials from both the construction and energy sector, after the start with a tasty lunch. We will end the afternoon with a networking drink during the demonstration of battery systems applicable on a yard.
The working language at the event will be Dutch.
