EVENTS

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.

The CC4ES is a multi-track cyber security event organized by Polish TSO, PSE. The conference deals exclusively with cybersecurity in the energy sector. The objective of the CC4ES is to present the best practices and current trends in ensuring cybersecurity and preventing attacks in the energy sector, as well as to show practical technical solutions. The conference will host cybersecurity experts from the United States.

The agenda includes e.g. SANS ICS NETWARS training – a suite of hands-on, interactive learning scenarios that enable Operational Technology security professionals to develop and master the real-world, in-depth skills they need to defend real-time systems.

The purpose of the annual CEEC conference is to discuss and assess topical issues relating to energy and climate policy in Central Europe in an EU policy development context. The CEEC conference has two ambitions: first, to bring together leading stakeholders from Central Europe’s energy sector, and second, to help find better energy and climate policy solutions for the EU and for Central Europe.

The first annual CEEC conference was held in November 2007. The 10th and 11th CEEC conferences were held in tandem with the SET Plan conference as part of the official programme of the Slovak and Estonian Presidencies of the Council of the EU, in the second half of 2016 and 2017. The 12th conference in 2018 was held in conjunction with the V4 energy ministers summit during Slovakia’s V4 Presidency. The 13th conference formed part of the official programme of the 2019 Slovak OSCE Presidency. During the 14th and 15th conferences that were held during the unprecedented economic crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic ministers discussed the priorities of the Recovery Plans in V4. For information about past annual conferences, please visit the CEEC website: www.ceec.sk

The aim of the 16th CEEC conference is to discuss the issue of energy security in the light of the need to get rid of dependence on energy supplies from Russia and search for alternatives in other countries, as well as speeding up deployment of domestic sources. Russian invasion into Ukraine has shown the problem of high energy dependence on Russia and exposed the vulnerability of Central European region.

The conference will discuss the measures that could be done to decrease this dependence, while not abandoning the EU climate goals. The conference will pay special attention to the possibilities of developing hydrogen infrastructure, usage of waste and circular economy, energy efficiency in buildings and changes of ETS in industry sector. Traditional Central European regional format of the conference will be expanded with Ukraine and discussed also with their representatives and stakeholders.
