It's great to see so many stakeholders discussing energy transformation, but the true test will be how quickly these discussions translate into concrete policy changes and widespread adoption.

High-level discussions, but does it actually help ordinary citizens with their energy bills?

More conferences mean more promises, not necessarily more actual renewable energy on the grid.
