The Aurora Energy Transition Summit Berlin 2025 will provide a timely platform for industry leaders to examine the political, technical, and commercial dimensions of Germany’s evolving energy landscape and prepare for what lies ahead. Germany is undergoing a major reset of its energy policy, with wide-reaching changes across renewables, thermal generation, grid infrastructure, and storage. The government is revisiting its power plant strategy, with a potential capacity market under consideration to drive investment in firm generation, though important questions remain about technology neutrality and the roles of hydrogen and batteries.

Grid access and stability are becoming increasingly complex as more intermittent renewables and batteries connect to the system, while changing connection rules and regulatory uncertainty affect project planning. Meanwhile, reforms to the EEG and ambiguity around PPAs continue to challenge long-term commercial strategies.

Join the discussion this September in Berlin—book your free ticket now!

Catch the best moments from our 2024 event!

Why attend?

  • Set the agenda for Germany’s energy future: Be part of a flagship annual forum where, innovators, and policymakers, and the most senior leaders in the market come together to make sense of fast-moving change in Germany’s power sector. This is not just another energy conference—it’s where the big conversations happen.
  • Engage with the real decision-makers: Meet the developers, utilities, institutional investors, lenders, regulators, and government leaders driving the transition. No fluff. Just the voices that matter.
  • Hear what you won’t find anywhere else: Gain exclusive insights on the key uncertainties shaping the market, like the future of thermal capacity, battery economics, grid bottlenecks, PPAs, and more. Get clarity on where policy is headed and how to act.
  • Independent, data-driven insight: Aurora brings to stage a rare combination of data-driven insight, independent analysis, and access to high-level stakeholders.

Global Presence

Our global event series spans major energy hubs, including the Aurora Energy Transition Summit in Warsaw (February), the Spring Forum in London (April), the Berlin Summit (September), the Energy Transition Forum in New York (October), the Energy Finance Conference in Paris (October), and the London Summit (November) focused on the UK market.

About

Germany is undergoing a major reset of its energy policy, with wide-reaching implications across the power sector. The government is rethinking core elements of the market, from support for renewables and the future of thermal generation to grid infrastructure and storage. With policy shifts underway, developers, investors, and utilities are recalibrating to navigate what comes next.

A central piece of the puzzle is the revival of Germany’s power plant strategy. A reworked approach is now on the table, bringing the potential introduction of a capacity market aimed at unlocking investment in firm generation, with adjustments to address key industry concerns. But major questions remain. There is little clarity on how technology-neutral the design will be, what kind of support hydrogen-ready assets can expect, and how batteries will fit into commercial models that need to balance short-term flexibility with long-term system needs.

Grid access and stability is another concern. As more intermittent renewables and batteries connect to the system, pressure on existing infrastructure is rising. Developers are facing evolving rules on firm versus flexible connections, and it is still unclear how upcoming grid regulations will affect project costs and timelines. Furthermore, uncertainty on upcoming reform of the EEG and impacts on PPAs make long-term strategies for commercialisation challenging.

Despite the uncertainty, the energy transition in Germany still presents significant opportunities. Against this backdrop, the Aurora Energy Transition Summit Berlin 2025 will offer a timely platform to unpack these challenges and explore where the market may be heading. The event brings together decision-makers and experts from across the energy sector to examine the political, technical, and commercial dimensions of the transition.

From the future of capacity markets and thermal buildout to the role of batteries and renewables in grid reliability, the summit will help participants make sense of change and prepare for what comes next.
