The Energy Matrix bridges research and decision-making. Founded by Dr. Maria Kottari, it delivers evidence-based insights that help public authorities, businesses, and communities advance the clean energy transition and respond effectively to climate change.
Energy transition and climate action sit at the intersection of politics, the economy, and society. The Energy Matrix integrates these dimensions to help decision-makers craft practical, future-ready solutions that move from ideas to implementation.
I have been appointed as an EU Climate Pact Ambassador. In this role, I join a network of dedicated individuals who inform, inspire, and support climate policy and action within their communities and networks, working together to drive meaningful progress toward a more sustainable future.
My deep passion for Climate Justice, cultivated through years of volunteering and engagement with global climate governance, drives my work with the EU Climate Pact initiative, Green Narratives. I aim to translate complex climate and energy transition-related data into clear, compelling visual stories that motivate citizens to act and help build a more resilient, equitable future.
Europe’s offshore wind is entering its decisive decade 🌊⚡
With 86–89 GW targeted by 2030, the focus is shifting from ambition to implementation.Grids, transmission, and interconnection are now centre stage, and offshore wind is where the green and blue economy come together at scale.
On 19 February 2026 in Amsterdam,Global Transmission Report hosted the 7th Annual Offshore Wind Transmission Europe Conference, bringing together TSOs, developers, policymakers, and technology leaders to tackle integration, interconnectors, permitting, and resilient offshore networks.
I’m glad I have joined as a panel moderator and contributed to the discussion on how Europe delivers offshore wind with speed and resilience.

“This is what drives me in my career: the dynamic and perpetually changing nature of the energy field. It is an ever-expanding field of new knowledge, which despite its daunting complexity, offers the excitement of the undiscovered, of innovative thinking, of the consolidation of knowledge across seemingly unrelated studies, binding together to fulfil a common vision.”
