​TL;DR

​Join us to unpack how energy systems work, why dunkelflauten and base load matter, and what it all means for cost, reliability, and power-hungry industries like data centers.

​Topic overview

​Why is the topic relevant?

​Join us to dive into how energy systems work, the role of base load, why challenges like dunkelflauten matter, and their impact on costs and reliability. With renewable energy on the rise, understanding these issues is vital—especially for consumer that need constant power, like data centers.

​What’s up for discussion?

• ​Necessity of Base Load:

• ​Is base load still relevant in a system increasingly reliant on variable renewables, or can flexibility and storage fully replace it?

• ​Technological Options:

• ​What are the most viable technologies for maintaining base load (e.g., nuclear, gas, hydrogen, geothermal), and how do they compare in cost, scalability, and carbon footprint?

• ​Policy and Investment:

• ​What role should governments and VCs play in ensuring reliable base load generation while advancing the energy transition?

​Dream outcome

​Energy systems are complex, so I aim to explore the topic from multiple angles, allowing everyone to form their own opinion.

​Who should attend?

​Anyone interested in the evolution of our energy system and the future energy mix should join. This includes those shaping the industry, as well as professionals directly involved in base load energy solutions.
