The 35. EuroPOWER & 5th OZE POWER Energy Conference will be held between 7th and 8th April 2020. The event will be organized in a hybrid formula: in-person in The Westin Warsaw Hotel and ONLINE. The energy industry leaders are meeting to discuss current opportunities and challenges of the energy sector in Poland.

The agenda of the spring edition will be built based on three pillars  – Power Engineering, Society, and Economy. The Conference will be inaugurated with a debate devoted to Poland’s energy security in the light of the aspiration to climate neutrality. The main subjects that will be touched upon are the following: the in-depth analysis of the Fit for 55 package, including the opportunities and risks towards climate neutrality, Poland’s energy, and the energy deficit after the year 2025. The transformation of Polish energy will constitute another important subject. Experts will focus on such issues, among others, as the objectives, mechanisms, tasks, and dilemmas of the fair transformation, the role of politics and regulations in the energy transformation, the reform of the ETS system, liberalization of the gas and electricity market, and energy mix till the year 2050.

Then issues connected with the distributed power engineering in the industry will be also discussed – making the industry more sustainable (greener), the development determinants of the distributed power engineering in the industry, industry policy and energy policy, and the market of new energy services. The subjects of the digital development of power engineering will also be present. The speakers will discuss the most important issues concerning digitalization, cybersecurity in power engineering, and IT technologies in the energy sector.

The subsequent discussion panels will be based on the subject of various models of financing technology. The experts will talk about the financing of the renewable sources of energy, the energy mix, as well as about the future of the auction system, market risks, and the PPA market. They will also touch upon the issue of investments in distribution networks and energy storage. The development of the renewable sources of the energy sector in Poland will be discussed, e.g. the state of regulations, development barriers of the renewable sources of energy, renewable sources of energy share in heat engineering, and the subject of community energy. The Congress will end with a debate devoted to the subject of distributed power engineering as an opportunity for Poland. There will be discussed such topics, as legal, organizational, and technical infrastructure adjustment to the development of the distributed power engineering,  virtual power plants as a way of efficient management of dispersed sources of energy, and energy efficiency improvement of households thanks to community energy.

The congress is carried out as part of the activities of MMC Polska, which organizes prestigious congresses, conferences, workshops and business training dedicated to managerial staff and company boards.

Discussions on the energy transformation and the share of renewable energy sources in the process have recently touched many social groups. Both solar as well as wind farms are the basis of our domestic renewable energy market, and the renewable energy itself is playing an increasingly important role in the power mix not only of Poland, but also of other countries in the European Union.

The RES markets in the Commonwealth and around the world are developing very dynamically. More and more often we come across new solutions allowing the industry to increase the efficiency of the available resources. With the dynamic development of the renewable energy sector, new legislative problems appear at the same time.

Recently, the subjects of the “10H” Act or the issue of changes in the rules regarding prosumers have become very popular in media statements.

Energy storage, which is to ensure a stable development for any renewable source, is also gaining considerable attention in the public space. At the same time, we must not forget about the problems related to overloading power grids – a major challenge for the operators investing in RES.

The above-mentioned issues will be the leitmotif of the Future Energy Congress, organized by the ZEOP Association and the Student Scientific Circle of Energy Law “on / off”.

During the first two days of Congress, which will take place on March 30 and 31, 2022, we will hear the experts’ speeches. Specialists will present their views on current trends, upcoming challenges and problems of the energy industry. On the third day – April 1, 2022, lectures by students and doctoral students will shine light on some of the most warning issues that appear in the discussions on the RES market.

Although it has been around for decades, climate goals gave a new momentum for hydrogen technology that enjoys renewed and rapidly growing attention worldwide. Due to its versatility, hydrogen has been described by many as the Holy Grail of decarbonisation. Harnessing the full potential of hydrogen has huge potential but there are still many open questions that must be answered.

Join the Budapest Hydrogen Summit on 10 March to find out about the opportunities and challenges in harnessing the full power of hydrogen on our way towards a net-zero future.

The relevance of the topic is beyond dispute. In light of the accelerated efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the next years will be about delivering on these commitments.

Hydrogen offers a solution to decarbonise industrial processes and economic sectors where reducing carbon emissions is both urgent and hard to achieve. This makes hydrogen a promising solution that can support our 2050 net-zero commitments. However, it has yet to reach its tipping point in mainstream use and there are still many unknown factors we must study to unveil the real potential of hydrogen.

Organised for the first time, the Budapest Hydrogen Summit will bring together policymakers, major industry stakeholders and experts from the CEE region and beyond to encourage cross-sector dialogue and knowledge-share, which is essential to the rapid scale-up of the hydrogen economy.

The Budapest Hydrogen Summit presents a unique opportunity for stakeholders of the hydrogen value chain in Central and Eastern Europe to showcase their idea, strategy or project and to shape the hydrogen agenda of the region.

The Budapest Hydrogen Summit will be opened by Hungary’s Minister for Innovation and Technology, Mr László Palkovics. Hungary approved its National Hydrogen Strategy last year and considers hydrogen a significant contributor to the county’s 2050 carbon-neutrality target. Other Central and Eastern European countries were also quick to respond to the uptake of hydrogen technology, adopting ambitious goals and strategies regarding the development of their hydrogen economies. The  Budapest Hydrogen Summit will provide a platform to present these goals and to identify common points and opportunities for cooperation.

The European Commission’s newly published Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Package gives a major push for the development of Europe’s internal market for hydrogen already by 2030. The next years will be crucial to lay the foundation for hydrogen deployment. At the Budapest Hydrogen Summit Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe – the leading organisation representing European based companies and stakeholders – will present the key factors to lay the foundation for policy, market design and financing activities that will make or break the development of the hydrogen sector.

The hydrogen economy spans several industries. At the Budapest Hydrogen Summit, you will learn about the key industries that will stimulate hydrogen demand from top executives of stakeholder companies.

Join the Budapest Hydrogen Summit and become a proactive member of the up-and-coming hydrogen market. Let’s build the hydrogen future together!

The Budapest Hydrogen Summit will be organised live and in-person in Hotel Marriott Budapest.

Don’t miss the one of the region’s leading gas conference. This year, the Budapest LNG Summit will be organized on December 6, live and in person at the Hotel Marriott Budapest. As an established regional conference, the Budapest LNG Summit is ideally placed to take a prominent role in connecting policymakers and the business ecosystem from Central and Eastern Europe and beyond by providing a platform to discuss the driving trends of the gas industry and to identify the opportunities and challenges ahead of us.

A global energy crunch sent natural gas prices soaring and hitting record highs in the past month. What are the factors that are fueling the price surge? What can we expect in the long run and what are the main lessons to take away? Major stakeholders of the gas and LNG industry including high-level representatives of MET Group, Shell, ExxonMobil, Gazprom, SOCAR, Dentons, CEEGEX, FGSZ, GTSOU and Eustream will review how the sector has coped so far with the challenges and adjusted to the new normal.

Since 2016 Central Europe Energy Partners (CEEP) has organised five editions of the Central European Day of Energy (CEDE) in Brussels. Each of them was focused on key issues regarding transition of energy sector and provided a Central European perspective to the Brussels’ debate on energy and climate policy.

The current energy crunch reminds us that the resilience of the European energy system is increasingly important as the EU energy system integrates more decentralised and intermittent renewable energy, and fossil fuels are gradually phased out. Energy security, as one of the five dimensions of the EU Energy Union, remains a priority, especially in the Central European region which has been seriously affected by supply disruptions in the past. The context of transition towards net-zero economy emphasizes new aspects of energy security, that can be accommodated in a wider framework of energy sector resilience. In addition to the issue of security of supply, resilience may include cybersecurity, resilience of supply chains (including critical raw materials and components), climate adaptation, electricity grid stability as well as the changes in climate and energy diplomacy. These topics are usually elaborated by different experts separately. In order to fully understand the complexity of the challenges we face we want to zoom out and discuss a wide spectrum of aspects of energy sector resilience across the whole value chain during a single event.

The 6th edition of CEDE will once again engage a wide representation of stakeholders, especially form Central Europe, and will provide a good opportunity to exchange ideas how the EU energy sector can secure its resilience in a cost-effective way, and at the same time fulfil its 2030 and 2050 climate commitments. During the event CEEP together with REKK will present a report on resilience of the electricity sector in Central Europe in the time of transition, which will serve as a food for thought during the Central European Day of Energy. The draft agenda can be fund here.

The 34th EuroPOWER Energy Conference and the 4th OZE POWER will be held on November 17-18, 2021 in a hybrid formula: stationary at The Westin Warsaw Hotel and in the form of online transmission. Key representatives of the industry will meet for the second time this year

The main point of discussion during the inaugural debate will be the energy transition strategy and the pursuit of climate neutrality. Topics such as the goals of sustainable development and climate neutrality, the essence of the energy transformation, and challenges related to ensuring the security of energy supplies will be discussed.
