Where the sector aligns: ARE hosts 2025 Industry Action Dialogue
On 4 December 2025, the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) hosted the 3rd edition of the Industry Action Dialogue. This exclusive in-person gathering in the heart of Europe saw the participation of more than 60 ARE Members and Partners, to favour exchange among peers and plan targeted actions to turbocharge the deployment of distributed renewable energy (DRE) projects.
During the morning, ARE Members joined one of three circles:
- The Financier Circle,
- The EPC & Developer Circle, and
- The Technology & Manufacturer circles.

The day concluded with closing remarks from ARE CEO David Lecoque and ARE President Maud Watelet, followed by a networking reception.
Once again, the ARE Industry Action Dialogue successfully brought together key actors in the DRE sector in Brussels for action and connection.
