Enlit Europe 2025 took place on 18-20 November in Bilbao, a city that has grown into an important reference point for the global energy sector. Held at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, the event gathered professionals from across Europe and beyond, providing a setting well suited to discussions on how digitalisation, innovation and regional cooperation are shaping the continent’s energy landscape. The surrounding ecosystem of organisations active in electrification and clean energy offered a relevant context for examining both progress and remaining challenges.
The E-NERGY Cluster, bringing together the EU-funded projects DIGITISE, DECODIT, ENERGENIUS, CELINE and EU-DREAM, took part through a webinar, a booth in the EU Projects Zone and an interactive workshop. These activities provided several opportunities to outline the cluster’s aims and to discuss how digital solutions can support more meaningful citizen and customer engagement. Across the booth and workshop, we held live discussions with visitors about the dynamics of the energy market and the increasing importance of customer-centred models in meeting present-day expectations.
The webinar Digital technologies to make energy information more accessible and engaging, held on 6 November, offered a focused platform to examine how digital technologies can widen public participation in the energy system. Experts from across the cluster shared perspectives on data-driven decision-making, practical applications from pilot activities and approaches that can help organisations, citizens and policymakers act with greater awareness of environmental and social priorities. The exchanges highlighted a growing interest in tools that make energy information easier to interpret and act upon.
The workshop on the first day of the ENLIT fair offered a closer look at how a cluster-based approach can strengthen cooperation within the energy sector. It focused on the value of collective work in developing practical and innovative solutions across all participating projects. The session brought together contributors from various organisations, each presenting insights drawn from their technical and strategic experience. Speakers included Pablo Barrachina Rodríguez-Guisado (Voltiva Energy), Antonis Papanikolaou (Que Technologies), Luca Capra (Spindox Labs), Eleni Tsironi (UBITECH), Mariana Jimenez (EPRI Europe) and Vassilis Antonopoulos (Que Technologies). Their contributions supported a thoughtful exchange on how shared methodologies, coordinated research and joint experimentation can enhance consumer participation and help build a more resilient energy system.
Taken together, the E-NERGY Cluster’s contributions at Enlit reinforced its commitment to strengthening transparency, participation and digital readiness across Europe’s evolving energy landscape. Through direct engagement, shared expertise and collaborative dialogue, the cluster continues to support a more accessible and people-centred approach to the energy transition.
