Temporary Energy Systems Community Event

During Arnhem Electricity Week (AEW), the TES community of Connectr comes together for a hands-on morning session at the demofield. AEW is dedicated to innovation in energy and electrification, making it the ideal setting to explore the energy mix on construction sites together.

Within the TES community (Temporary Energy Systems), public and private parties collaborate on smart, clean, and viable energy solutions for temporary applications, such as in construction and infrastructure. This meeting puts practice first: what’s already working, what challenges are we running into, and what’s needed to scale further?

We start at the stage on the outdoor grounds of AEW and then head out onto the site. A key element is the visit to the charging hub at Cleantech Park Arnhem. While it is not yet fully operational, this actually provides a clear picture of real-world development and the decisions that come with it. Members of the community will offer their perspective on this.

After returning to the demofield, we explore innovations at various exhibitor stands. Here you’ll see concrete applications directly relevant to temporary energy systems and emission-free construction.

We close the morning with a joint wrap-up and networking lunch.

In the afternoon, the closing symposium of the Emission-Free Infrastructure Network (ENI) takes place. Community meeting participants can register for this separately to dive deeper into emission-free construction and the latest developments within the network.
