PwC Global Energy, Utilities & Resources Roundtable

Dear guest,

Given the scale of the energy system transformation and the number of stakeholders involved, the regulatory market design plays a crucial role in achieving the energy transition. The interrelationships between technology, policy, and global market developments are extremely complex and it is therefore imperative that decision makers and industry stakeholders take a long-term and holistic view when evaluating policy options and making grid investment decisions.

By organizing this Roundtable PwC brings a community of solvers together and is establishing an active global dialogue among policymakers, industry players, investors and academia where framework conditions for future energy systems and its regulation can be shared and discussed and pathways can be identified.

Join the discussion and meet key stakeholders from the global energy network. On the evening preceding the roundtable event we are hosting a dinner offering our attendees a great networking opportunity.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you at our global event.

Kind regards,
PwC Event Team

Restaurant Wolf Atelier

Michael Wolf's restaurant is located in 1920's monumental railway bridge over the water, a five-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. The industrial but atmospheric restaurant is surrounded by high glass windows, high above the water. Wherever you sit you look out over the water and in the evening the lights over the IJ.

Chef Michael Wolf also holds sway at the trusted metropolitan restaurant Envy. He previously worked at not-to-be-missed businesses such as Sergio Hermans Oud Sluis*** and Vila Joya*. Esquire already tipped him as one of the most promising young chefs a few years ago.
