European DSOs connect 260 million customers

The electricity distribution network is the direct link between energy consumers on the one hand and electricity generation and transmission on the other. It is the ‘backbone’ of our energy system. 

European DSOs connect 260 million customers, of which the vast majority are residential households and small enterprises.

The E.DSO brochure entitled ‘Lead the Transition – Serve the Customers’ presents a set of key messages on customer-DSO interactions. 

It looks at the changing regulatory framework following the adoption of the Clean Energy for All Europeans Package and particularly the relevant consumer and DSO provisions. 

Different use cases on how DSOs interact with their customers are presented. These include

1.  Arranging a grid connection,
2.  Providing relevant data (e.g. consumption data through smart metering,
3.  communication (e.g. in case of disturbances or outages,
4.  Facilitating data exchanges with the third parties,
5.  Enabling new and innovative services and helping customers to become active and reap the benefits of the energy transition.

The European Green Deal is expected to deliver additional value for energy consumers. DSOs are committed to this objective, and therefore ask the European Commission for close stakeholder engagement. 

DSOs have the capacity and are willing to play a vital role to drive the decarbonisation and digitalisation plan, with the ultimate goal to strengthen customers and deliver the energy transition.

European Distribution System Operators (E.DSO) is the key-interface between the leading electricity distribution system operators (DSOs) and the European institutions and stakeholders. 

E.DSO promotes the development and large-scale testing of smart grid technologies in real-life situations, new market designs and regulation.

E.DSO gathers 41 leading electricity distribution system operators (DSOs) in 24 countries, including 2 national associations, cooperating to ensure the reliability of Europe’s electricity supply for consumers and enabling their active participation in our energy system.

The Communication Agency, Page in extremis is glad to have developed the graphic design of the E.DSO brochure.

The result is a comprehensive publication made within a genuine creative dialogue involving the E.DSO communication team and the Belgian communication agency’s creative unit.

Immunotherapy: current state of research in breast cancer

Checkpoint inhibitors make headlines with promising new data in cancer treatment on an almost daily basis, especially in melanoma and lung cancer.

Global biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate, putting the survival of other species and our future at risk.
The latest edition of WWF’s Living Planet Report brings home the enormity of the situation - and how we can start to put it right.

The Living Planet Index reveals that global populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles declined by 58 percent between 1970 and 2012.
We could witness a two-thirds decline in the half-century from 1970 to 2020 – unless we act now to reform our food and energy systems and meet global commitments on addressing climate change, protecting biodiversity and supporting sustainable development.

The communication agency, Page in extremis is proud to have participated to the living planet report through the production of the two language versions of the Belgian edition (French and Flemish).

The environmental concern is one of the pillars of Page in extremis since its creation in 1994. Page in extremis has worked with global associations like Greenpeace, WWF, the European Wind Energy Association (WindEurope) but also with international organisations like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European Environment Agency (EEA)

UNEP is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment

EEA is the EU Agency providing sound, independent information on the environment for those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, and also the general public.
In close collaboration with European Environmental Information and Observation Network and its 33 member countries, the EEA gathers data and produces assessments on a broad range of topics related to the environment.

Promotional posters play a significant role in the panoply of the promotional material for an event.
The primary objective is to get the attention of the targeted audience.
Posters portray your professional image: they must be neat with clear branding. Posters should include logos, colours and the right taglines that represent the organising community and the sponsors.

The layout should be easy to read ensuring the key points stand out. The message should jump out at you immediately. Not every word is crucial, so highlight only when necessary.

Make sure you use strong images that support your message. We recommend using one large image. But if you need to use a lot of smaller images, then group them so they look like one entity.

Here are three samples of Event posters made for the City of Brussels by the communication agency, Page in extremis.

The Zumba Party at the Grand-Place of Brussels is a sporty and festive event with different dance styles. Several instructors lead the dance.

Retail Agreement on Waste Report, a new joint publication released by two important associations of the retail sector: European Retail Round Table and EuroCommerce.

With the support of the European Commission, the Retailers’ Environmental Action Programme (REAP) was set up in 2009 by a group of progressive retailers with a simple remit: to improve the environmental sustainability of their own supply chains and so to bring tangible benefits to society at large.

One of these initiatives is the Retail Waste Agreement, established in 2012. It merely called on companies to carry out at least two awareness-raising initiatives on waste reduction by the end of June 2014. Many of the initiatives developed went far beyond these simple requirements.

The Retail Agreement on Waste Report presents the outcomes of these campaigns, detailing some of the wide-ranging and imaginative actions created by retailers. It demonstrates the creativity of the sector in developing original ideas and engaging with consumers.

Page in extremis, a communication agency based in Brussels, has been chosen as partner to develop the visual design and imagery of the Retail Agreement on Waste Report, a central publication for European Retail Round Table and EuroCommerce.
