Self-consumption is at a turning point. Changes in the regulatory framework, the need to bring greater flexibility to the electricity system, and the emergence of new solutions such as distributed storage are redefining its role in the energy model.
In this context, the 6th Self-Consumption Summit, organized by UNEF, will bring together institutional representatives, leading companies, and industry experts in Madrid on April 14 to analyze the main challenges and opportunities that will shape the development of self-consumption in Spain.
The conference will feature the participation of institutional representatives, companies, associations and experts from the energy sector, and will focus on how to consolidate self-consumption in all its forms — residential, industrial, utility, collective and energy communities — through round tables, technical presentations and discussion forums.
Throughout the day, attendees will also be able to enjoy networking opportunities during the coffee break and cocktail lunch, where they can exchange ideas and generate synergies among professionals in the sector.
