Think bigger, electrify better
Brussels, Belgium
3 - 4 November 2026

In July 2026, the European Commission unveiled its “Electrification Action Plan”, a strategy aimed at making the European Union the “first electro-continent”.

It is no coincidence that it calls for scaling up district heating and cooling networks. Large heat pumps, e-boilers, thermal storage, waste heat and local renewable heat sources are indeed a golden opportunity to bring efficiency and flexibility to an increasingly electrified energy system. In other words, we need to think bigger, to electrify better!

To tap into these benefits, the EU sets a deployment trajectory aiming to supply 15% of the EU’s heat demand with district heating by 2030, and to reach 7% annual growth in EU Member States.

The target is clear, but how do we get there?

The conversation starts at the Euroheat & Power Summit 2026 on 3–4 November. Join us to meet high-level policymakers and industry leaders, have impactful conversations, hear inspirational keynotes and gain fresh perspectives on the heating and cooling transition!

What to expect?

  • Executive interviews and keynotes with high-level EU policymakers and thought leaders
  • Engaging exchanges on the upcoming EU Waste heat initiative, Cooling and heating action plan, post-2030 framework and ETS revision
  • Friendly networking with 200+ peers from the sector
  • An iconic After-Work: “Winter is coming!”

MOMENTS FROM THE EUROHEAT & POWER SUMMIT
WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE SUMMIT
The Euroheat & Power Summit has been an instructive event. Coming from the building sector, it is enlightening to see how the heating and cooling community strongly believes in and advocates for energy-efficient buildings, requiring holistic approaches. Achieving a fair and affordable energy transition for all involves cooperation between all sectors, and the EHP summit is a great place to start!
Adrian Joyce, Secretary General, Efficient Buildings Europe
The Euroheat & Power Summit is a remarkable event where the heating and cooling sector from across Europe gathers to discuss success factors and challenges, proving that when all actors cooperate, things actually move forward! These two days have been brilliant, and I will bring back a lot of knowledge and new partners to work with in the future.
Anna Hall, Head of Public Affairs, Alfa Laval Technologies
District heating and cooling is a central pillar of Austria's energy transition and climate neutrality goals. 2026 has shown how urgently climate-friendly urban energy solutions are needed. As key EU frameworks take shape, the Summit is where our sector must engage with policymakers — bringing our expertise, experience and voice.
Alexander Wallisch, Director, FGW Austria
The 2026 Euroheat & Power Summit is extraordinarily relevant given the Electrification Action Plan published by the European Commission in July. The Summit is the place to discuss its implications and share our thoughts on the way forward. It is a must-attend event for anyone who wants to understand where the sector is heading.
Kristian Rehnstrom, Director, Corporate Relations, Fortum
The Euroheat & Power Summit is a unique opportunity to understand upcoming EU policies on district heating and cooling and learn from implementation experiences across Europe. These insights are valuable for our national discussions and help us develop better solutions for the heating transition.
Frans de Heij, Strategic Programme Manager, Energie-Nederland
As a board member of Euroheat & Power, I can tell you: this is the event you don't want to miss! District heating is at the heart of Europe’s energy transition, with technologies like industrial heat pumps changing what is possible, faster than ever. The Summit is where the people driving that change come together to share ideas and push the industry forward. Join us!
Marco Baresi, Institutional Affairs and Marketing Director, Turboden
The transformation of the heating and cooling sector is key to Europe’s energy transition. Our sector is ready to drive it through substantial investment. This requires a stable, reliable framework that enables investment while keeping the shift affordable. The EHP Summit brings together industry, associations and policymakers, creating the dialogue needed to turn ambitious goals into successful implementation.
