The energy industry in Europe – the most important questions

The energy industry in Europe – the most important questions

In what way will EU-level regulations determine the development of the energy industry? The Climate Package, the Winter Package, and the EU ETS system. The road to the Energy Union – sustainable, secure and competitive energy in Europe. Polish energy strategies: Where are we headed? The technological revolution and its effects: energy storage, electromobility, distributed and prosumer power generation, and new solutions in the renewable energy industry. Let the power be with us: How much does energy security cost? The energy for industry – it should be reliable, readily available and cheap. Is it possible?

The European gas market

The European gas market

• Gas trade and imports to Europe – system, connections, EU-internal contradictions
• Big gas consumers in Europe. Contracts and price formulas. Role of the stock exchange and spot purchases
• Gas in Europe and the idea of an energy union. Particular interests and common security
• The role of internal European infrastructural connections in gas trade and mutual backing in case of crises. Alternative imports (LNG, gas ports)
• A gas pipeline to Norway, or gas for Poland and the region
• Regional co-operation (in terms of gas imports) within the EU – more flexible and based on risk analysis. LNG in the region – will it pay off?
• Transparency of gas contracts between companies. Control of provisions that are important for EU energy security
