Promoting the successful implementation of the energy transition – with this intention EUROSOLAR e.V. has been honoring towns, council districts, companies, associations/organizations, initiatives and private persons with the annual European Solar Prize for 23 years. Pioneers and leaders are put into the focus of public attention and show how the realistic and practicable use of renewable energy is successfully possible.
Towards the end of each year, the award winners are invited to a celebratory event in a European city. Having previously been held in Rome and Prague, this year’s edition of the European Solar Prize will be awarded in Barcelona – a city committed to sustainable energy.
Together with the Spanish Section of EUROSOLAR and Barcelona City Council, this years’ award winners will be honored on Friday, 18th November in ‘Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site’ in Barcelona.
The main event will start at 12:00 noon with welcoming speeches by Prof. Peter Droege, President of EUROSOLAR, and Janet Sanz, Deputy Mayor, Barcelona City Council. Afterwards an exciting program on the topic ‘Policy and vision for an energy transition’ with lectures by Dr. Dörte Fouquet, Director of EREF, Becker Büttner Held, Dr. Harry Lehmann, Chairman of WCRE, Umweltbundesamt, and Domingo Jiménez Beltrán, President of Fundación Renovables, will be presented.
