What is German Energy Day?

German Energy Day provides in-depth insight into the most critical developments shaping the German energy market. The event brings together expert presentations, timely discussions, and opportunities to ask key questions about Germany’s evolving energy landscape.

You will hear about:

Session 1: Power market dynamics
A deep dive into what’s driving the German power market right now — including the key shifts seen in 2025/26, the move closer to real-time trading through 15-minute day-ahead products, and what early lessons have emerged.

Session 2: Flexibility – batteries, data centres and AI
This session focuses on the new demand and flexibility forces reshaping German power markets. The battery story is front and centre, moving from growth projections to real deployment realities, and culminating in a panel discussion on whether Germany is keeping pace in the European battery race.

Session 3: Market design, hedging & industry competitiveness
A forward-looking session on the policy and commercial frameworks shaping German competitiveness. Topics include what’s next in market design, how hedging strategies and long-term contracting are evolving, and whether standardised PPAs can revive a slowing market. It also looks at how weather volatility increasingly impacts PPA pricing and risk allocation.

Session 4: Gas, LNG and geopolitics – navigating the new world order
The closing session connects gas fundamentals and geopolitical risk to European power prices, highlighting the underlying risks that can quickly ripple through short-term and forward markets. The final panel explores the tough choices facing energy-intensive industry: whether to hedge more, stay exposed, or relocate amid ongoing uncertainty and competitiveness pressure.
