Energy Conference 2026 – Glava Energy Center

How do we build a more robust energy system in a time of electrification, increasing electricity demand and new requirements for energy security? During Energy Conference 2026 at Glava Energy Center, stakeholders from the energy sector, industry, the public sector and academia will meet to discuss solutions that strengthen the resilience of the energy system.

Keynotes

Ebba Lillo

Robust energy systems in a changing world

Master of Science in Energy Systems and researcher at RISE, focusing on robust and resilient energy systems.

Her work involves research and development related to renewable energy, energy storage and energy supply in crisis and preparedness situations. She has experience from projects on municipal power demand analyses, island-mode solutions and issues related to total defence and energy supply.

Bo Normark

Electrification from a system perspective

One of Sweden’s most influential voices in electrification, smart grids and energy storage in a European context.

He has more than 50 years of experience in the energy sector, including roles within ABB, Svenska kraftnät, EIT InnoEnergy, the European Battery Alliance, Northvolt and H2 Green Steel.

Programme

The programme is continuously being developed.

The conference programme includes:

• Stage sessions with speakers, discussions and panel debates linked to the conference themes
• Lunch, networking and guided visits of the physical test environment
• Opportunities to explore Glava Energy Center’s testbeds and meet other actors in the energy sector

Five Themes of the Conference

The programme revolves around five areas that can strengthen the resilience of the energy system.

1. Increase local and regional electricity production. More electricity production from solar and wind close to where it is used reduces dependence on long-distance transmission and frees up hydropower where it is needed most.

2. Strengthen sector coupling. When energy systems, industry, buildings and society are connected, resources can be used more efficiently and new solutions can emerge.

3. Develop business models and regulatory frameworks. Local flexibility markets, energy communities and new forms of energy agreements can contribute to increased energy security – both in everyday operation and during disruptions.

4. Build energy buffers. Energy storage in the form of batteries, thermal storage and other solutions can create flexibility and stability in the energy system.

5. Drive electrification. The electrification of industry and society reduces dependence on imported fuels and strengthens energy supply.
