With climate and digital policies at the very top of the European agenda and Europe aiming to become the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050, we invite you to join us at the first Renewable Energy for 5G Europe Conference to learn more about the transformative power of 5G and the interlinkage with the renewable energy sector.<\/p>\n

The conference will focus on how mobile network operators themselves can switch entirely to renewable energy, and we will also zoom in on energy efficiency of 5G networks and their enabling potential for other industries. Do not miss this unique opportunity to discuss how to advance Europe in reaching its sustainability goals through 5G with speakers from Ericsson, Huawei, Telef\u00f3nica, the European Commission, Bank of America, SmartEN and many others.<\/p>\n

The conference is organised by the GSMA, with the support of Wind Europe and SolarPower Europe.<\/p>\n

Pre-event for GSMA members: Renewable Energy Buyers\u2019 Bootcamp<\/b>
\nPrior to the conference, the RE-Source Platform organises an educational workshop for GSMA members to discuss corporate sourcing of renewable energy and renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPAs). Clean energy providers and buyers using renewable energy will engage in peer to peer learning on topics including, but not limited to, sourcing strategies, on-site generation, financial and virtual PPAs, cross-border PPAs, Guarantees of Origin, additionality, etc. The roundtable discussions will also serve as an introduction for members not too familiar with the renewable energy business and introduce The Renewable Energy Buyers\u2019 Toolkit<\/a>.
\nThis workshop will take place from 10:30 to 12:30, 23 January at the GSMA offices in Brussels, followed by a networking lunch. Please note that the morning programme is open to GSMA members only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
