Decarbonisation policies in SE Europe, in the light of both climate change and the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, was the focus of the joint IENE – ROEC event that took place on Wednesday, March 13, in the Romanian capital, Bucharest
The Russian invasion of Ukraine exposed Europe’s most severe and deep-rooted energy security vulnerabilities and exacerbated the energy crisis caused by gas supply deficits on global markets since 2021. The crisis revealed that most countries in SE Europe are particularly vulnerable to energy security risks
As the repercussions of the latest energy crisis are still being felt across Europe, the Institute is going ahead with its plans to organise the annual “SEE Energy Dialogue” which will be held in Thessaloniki, in June
n the occasion of the forthcoming joint IENE/ROEC conference on, “Decarbonization Policies in SE Europe- Between climate change and war”, details of which you may find here, the Institute of Energy SE Europe (IENE) has prepared a background paper which sheds light on the issues to be discussed at the conference
Following the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Atoms4NetZero initiative, leaders from around the world will gather at a Nuclear Energy Summit in Brussels early next year to highlight the role of nuclear energy in addressing the global challenges to reduce the use of fossil fuels, enhance energy security and boost economic development, the IAEA and Belgium announced today
It has just been announced that Greece’ leading renewables company “Terna Energy SA” will be the lead sponsor for the one-day conference which IENE is convening in Bucharest on March 13, in collaboration with the Romanian Energy Centre (ROEC) its long standing partner in Romania
The European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) has been set up as a scientific interdisciplinary group, mobilizing Europe’s leading scientists to guide EU policy for the benefit of society. It brings together the National Academies of Science of the EU Member States, Norway, Switzerland and UK. It comprises three distinct programmes covering Biosciences and Public Health, Environment and Energy.
Representatives from almost every country in the world reached an agreement on the final text of a new global deal at the COP28 conference, which took place in Dubai between November 30 and December 13, 2023, calling for a transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources
Once again Romania Energy Center (ROEC) and the Institute of Energy for SE Europe (IENE) are joining forces to convene a one day highly focused event to examine current topics of the region’s energy agenda. A central theme, of interest to all countries in the broader SEE, concerns the undergoing market and policy changes in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. In this context the impact of the REPowerEU policy measures adopted by the EU soon after the war in Ukraine will be examined
Greece’s energy consumption profile for 2023, compared to 2022, appears clearly differentiated and with significantly lower prices for electricity and natural gas
Following the Institute’s New Year reception on January 24 at the Athens Club, IENE is moving ahead with its plans to organise an exciting series of events in different countries in SE Europe
On Wednesday, January 24, the annual 'PROMETHEUS' awards were presented by the Institute of Energy for Southeast Europe (IENE), honoring individuals for their outstanding contribution to the promotion of specific areas of the energy sector
The Institute of Energy of South-East Europe (IENE) has uploaded in its Youtube channel, a video on the celebration of its 20-year anniversary. IENE marked this milestone with a special event, held on November 14, 2023, as part of the 27th 'Energy and Development' National Conference (14-15 November, 2023)
Today, the global energy landscape presents a complex and challenging scenario. Despite significant advancements in renewable energy technologies, the world’s energy system remains predominantly reliant on fossil fuels and is likely to remain so in the foreseeable future. On the other hand, this heavy dependence on fossil fuels is of critical concern, considering their role in greenhouse gas emissions and climate change
The Institute of Energy for SE Europe (IENE) wishes to invite its members, associates and friends to its annual festive event for the cutting of the traditional New Year cake. The event will provide the opportunity to IENE's management to get together with the members of the Institute, as well as to inform them on its planned activities for 2024
In his New Year Message to the partners of the Institute the Chairman, Mr. Costis Stambolis, provides a concise overview of the Institute’s achievements during last year, looks at the challenges which lie ahead and discusses some of the plans for the current year
The video recording from the Institute’s latest Webinar on “Energy Security in SEE Europe and the East Mediterranean” which was held online on December 19,is now available and has been uploaded on the U Tube channel of the IENE
The Overview and Conclusions of the 27 th “Energy & Development” conference which was organised by the Institute on November 14- 15, 2023 in Athens have now been completed and are available through the conference microsite (here). This document provides a comprehensive review of IENE’s annual conference while it summarises the key points raised by speakers and moderators.
On December 28 the Institute sent to its members the latest IENE News issue (No 11) which corresponds to the Autumn/Winter 2023 period. (here) In it’s editorial entitled, “When basic tenets of energy collide” the question is put forward as to how long the observed market tranquility is going to last in view of rising geopolitical turbulence and destabilisation concerns in the broader region
«A false feeling of resignation in energy market dynamics seems to continue unabated into the new year despite rising geopolitical concerns, especially in the Middle East.”, notes in its Editorial IENE’s latest Energy Weekly Report which was sent to members and associates earlier today.
