During the congress we had the opportunity to participate in panel discussions not only with specialists from Poland, but also from abroad and with representatives of public institutions. The topic of electricity prices and the quality of heat pump installations and support programs - which is a hot topic today - were raised several times. It is extremely important during the ongoing energy transition in Europe, in the development of green energy solutions and the introduction of EU directives to move away from the use of fossil fuels as a source for buildings heating.
ESBE has always been committed to sustainable development and is following the EU strategy on energy transition, so we are already ready for the ongoing changes.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to participate and support such an important event. See you next year!
