At the same time there is strong interest from many companies in the region to register executives and senior staff to attend as delegates this year’s Energy Dialogue.Underthe special theme of "Energy Market Transition and Energy Security in SE Europe”, which signifies the state of flux that characterises SE European energy markets today, and the emergence of energy security as a topic of prime importance for energy policy, this year’s SEEED will try to map out the prevailing trends and challenges facing the region and the energy industry at large.
Furthermore, the "SE Europe Energy Dialogue” gathering next June is highly topical given EU’s major drive to establish the "Energy Union” and the emphasis placed on energy security, and most importantly,in view of persisting regional instability. Europe's, and SE Europe’s in particular, high dependence on hydrocarbon imports, the current volatile energy pricing environment, the global concern for the development of viable alternatives and the need to promote further carbon free solutions emerge as key policy issues.
This year’s the "Energy Dialogue” will as usual cover also the latest developments in the region’s evolving natural gas, electricity and RES markets and SEE's ongoing energy partnerships with Russia, the Caspian Sea, the East Mediterranean and North Africa. Furthermore, IENE’s major review paper on "SE Europe’s Energy Transition”, will be presented as it will provide useful background material.
