PowerPulse News September 2025

New colleagues on board: Eleonore Buisseret and Theo Desmedt

We are very pleased to announce the further expansion of our PowerPulse team with two new excellent colleagues. Eleonore Buisseret and Theo Desmedt joined PowerPulse the past month to contribute to the development of tailored, pragmatic solutions that help clients address their energy needs and support their transition toward a more sustainable future.

Eleonore has an academic background in sustainability and environmental management with two master degrees on Corporate Sustainable Management and on Environmental Sciences and Management. Before joining PowerPulse, Eleonore spent over two years at PwC, where she advised clients on sustainability strategy and compliance, with a particular focus on CSRD-related consulting and audit projects.

Theo recently strengthened PowerPulse as a Business Energy Consultant, bringing a strong academic background as a Business Engineer and a keen interest in energy and sustainability. Eager to grow in this dynamic environment, he is motivated to explore the challenges of the energy sector.

We are very proud to have them on board and are looking forward to grow together.

Event ‘Future of Energy Climate in the Industry’ organised by Enprove, Entras, and PowerPulse

On Tuesday 23 September, 65 industrial energy enthusiasts gathered in the magnificent setting of the Wintercircus to discuss the Future of Energy & Climate in the Industry.

With inspiring keynote speeches of An Beazar (Enprove), Remco De Boer (Studio Energie), Rafael Feito Kiczak (Elia), and Koen Schoors (UGent), the tone was set for a dynamic panel discussion with Jan Wauters (Joris Ide), Remco De Boer, Koen Schoors, and Katrien Even (PowerPulse) moderated by Jana Kerremans.

Discussion topics:

• industrial energy management,
• European energy policy and political dynamics,
• electrification and grid challenges
• economic logic behind industrial decision-making in Europe.

Key messages:

• Need for a reinforced grid to unable an accelerated energy transition for companies
• Gas and most likely nuclear will continue to play a role in the energy transition
• Call for a consistent policy with a tempering of regulation

It was a great pleasure to co-organise this high level event.

If you missed it, but are still eager to learn more on these topics for your company, don’t hesitate to contact us.
