On 27 October 2026, Energynomics is organizing in Cluj-Napoca the edition dedicated to the North-West region of the national series “Romanian Leaders in Energy Transition 2026”, a media campaign and a series of regional events dedicated to the leaders who are already delivering measurable results in Romania’s energy transition.
In 2026, Energynomics shifts the focus from education to recognition, based on the idea that the market has moved beyond the awareness stage and entered a phase of implementation, verifiable results and replicable models. The Cluj-Napoca conference continues this new stage through a practical dialogue about what has already been built, what has worked and what deserves to be scaled up at regional and national level.
Romanian Leaders in Energy Transition – Cluj-Napoca 2026 is designed as a platform for recognition, connection and accelerated replication of relevant projects in the region, bringing together local authorities, system operators, industry, developers, technology providers, integrators, financial institutions and educational organizations in a new format, more focused on results and collaboration.
Event starts in
An assessment of the progress made in the region, from public and private investment to energy infrastructure and new generation capacity: measurable results, implementation bottlenecks, opportunities for collaboration and success models that can be scaled up at regional and national level.
Cutting consumption and optimising energy costs in industry, commercial buildings and the public sector: upgrading installations, electrifying processes, automation, digital energy management, financing models and technical solutions with a demonstrable return on investment.
Developing photovoltaic projects and upgrading the electrical infrastructure: grid connection, network capacity, self-consumption, smart monitoring and control systems, integration of distributed generation and solutions for safer and more efficient operations.
The role of batteries and flexible demand in transforming the energy market: sizing and integrating storage systems, optimising consumption and generation, access to energy markets, revenue streams, financial viability and the conditions for developing replicable projects.
