Highlights from ETN Global’s 22^nd Annual General Meeting & Workshop

From 23–25 March 2026, the ETN Global community gathered in Malmö, Sweden, for its 22^nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Workshop, co-hosted by Uniper. With over 130 participants from across the turbomachinery and energy value chain, the event was more than a meeting, it was a moment to reconnect, reflect and move forward together.

The event opened with a visit to Uniper’s Öresundsverket power plant, where participants stepped into a real example of transition in action. A 448 MW combined cycle power plant, once mothballed, is now back in operation supporting Sweden’s electricity preparedness system. On site, participants also saw first-hand how gas turbines are being adapted to run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), offering a practical route towards lower-carbon operation.

A year in review

During the event, members reflected on a year of growth, engagement and impact across the ETN Global community:

• The network grew to 142 members across 21 countries, spanning Europe, North America, Asia and Africa.
• 13 new members joined, strengthening the diversity of the community.
• Members contributed to a four technical reports, over 15 working group activities and two industry initiatives.
• Engagement continued through events, webinars and collaborative projects, bringing the community together across multiple formats.

The message was clear: the strength of ETN Global lies in its active and engaged membership.

Shaping priorities together

Through open discussions and roundtables, members worked together to define ETN Global’s priorities for 2026, ensuring they reflect real needs across the sector. Key themes included:

• Low-carbon fuels and hydrogen
• CCUS integration
• Flexible and resilient operation
• Digitalisation and optimisation
• System integration and hybrid solutions…and more

A key moment of this year’s AGM was the announcement of the new Board for the 2026–2028 term, marking the next chapter in ETN Global’s governance (see a separate article on this).

During the Technical Workshop and across parallel sessions, participants tackled practical questions facing the sector from fuel flexibility and system integration to operational challenges and emerging technologies.
