From the chairman
Dear members, we are halfway through 2023 and the impact and scale of the energy transition is becoming increasingly clear for the electricity supply, as became apparent during the Access to Energy Dialogue in Arnhem.
The necessary scaling up and associated demand for technicians poses a major challenge. The board is investigating how we as the EMVT association can play a (more) active role in this. Furthermore, there is our new website and Kwx will continue under a new name. Wishing you a good and sunny summer period.

Power Electronics & Energy Storage event
