< back The Energy trilemma Energy should be reliable, sustainable and affordable. How do you reconcile these objectives ? More detailed information Will the lights stay on if we shut down the nuclear power plants? What are the ecological and financial consequences of the nuclear exit? Are subsidies necessary to trigger investments in replacement capacity? Is a sharp increase in electricity imports the simplest solution? Or should we manage the demand side more intelligently? And what opportunities do electric vehicles offer? There is no single, unique energy future. Yet we want an energy system that is reliable, sustainable and affordable at the same time. Can we reconcile the three objectives of the energy trilemma? In this keynote, we explore the Belgian electricity landscape of 2030 from the perspective of the trilemma. We answer the questions above and point out the main trade-offs or 'trade-offs' according to the energy trilemma. This analysis shows how an ambitious policy can make use of technological evolutions to realise the energy trilemma.

< back Unleashing Leadership Potential Navigating Success Through Self-Leadership More detailed information In the realm of leadership, Julie Brown offers invaluable insights for team leaders seeking not just to inspire, but to actively engage their members toward achieving remarkable outcomes. Anchored in the belief that effective leadership commences with self-leadership and a deep understanding of one's strengths and weaknesses, Julie delves into the essence of successful leadership dynamics. Central to Julie's philosophy is the profound importance of self-awareness and environmental acuity in leadership. Recognizing that anticipation and proactive measures are as crucial as reactive strategies, she emphasizes the delicate equilibrium between self-discipline and calculated risk-taking. Julie's approach underscores the necessity for self-leadership among all team constituents, a philosophy profoundly resonant as she navigates her professional journey following her partner's passing. For Julie, self-leadership extends far beyond professional spheres; it's a mindset cultivated over time, transcending the ice-bound landscapes of polar exploration to permeate every facet of life. By tapping into latent internal reservoirs often overlooked, individuals can unlock the full spectrum of their leadership potential, fostering resilience, adaptability, and unwavering determination. Through her experiences and wisdom, Julie Brown ignites the transformative power of self-leadership, inspiring individuals to chart their course toward personal and professional excellence.
