Energy topics 2023 in view - Hydrogen Days and Energy Week in focus
OLEC's key topics cover the entire value chain of climate-neutral energy production, storage, transport and use. Members and cooperation partners are proactively involved in various working groups, jointly organising activities, preparing projects or developing position papers, statements and white papers for the energy system of the future.

OLEC has a lot planned for the energy year 2023: This year's OLEC ENERGY WEEK will take place from 30 June to 5 July. In various events, OLEC addresses business, science, municipalities and multipliers on questions and challenges of resilient energy supply in the Northwest.
