The Vienna Energy Transition Forum, which is convened by the Institute of Energy for SE Europe (IENE) in partnership with the Vienna based Energy Center Europe (ECE) is bringing together some of the most progressive energy thinkers from across Europe in order to discuss the critical energy and environmental issuesThe Vienna Energy Transition Forum, which is convened by the Institute of Energy for SE Europe (IENE) in partnership with the Vienna based Energy Center Europe (ECE) is bringing together some of the most progressive energy thinkers from across Europe in order to discuss the critical energy and environmental issues and how these can be tackled as the region enters a decarbonisation phase in line with EU goals and international commitments. The Forum will be held at the Vienna Plaza Hotel (Schottering 11,A-1010 Vienna), on Thursday and Friday, June 6/7, 2019
An impressive group of speakers representing a wide range of disciplines and business interests covering the broad energy sector,will gather in Vienna for a two day high level meeting to discuss the challenges now facing Central and SE Europe arising from Energy Transition. Issues such as the need to decarbonise power generation and yet maintain reliable base load power generation,the role of gas as a fuel of choice and the need for further renewables penetration under economically competitive terms will be hotly debated in the Vienna Energy Transition Forum. EU 's decarbonisation agenda and Energy Transition road map will come under scrutiny as a bundle of factors ranging from electricity market integration and grid performance to the slow pace of implementing vital gas interconnections and the role of nuclear power as a realistic alternative capable of delivering emission free power generation, will also be addressed. Another important topic which is often sidelined in Energy Transition gatherings but which will be fully discussed in the Vienna meeting,is the constructive role that the Oil & Gas industry can play in the whole Energy Transition process.
Already more than 25 senior ranking executives and experts have confirmed their participation in the Vienna Energy Transition Forum with more speakers and panelists being added every day as we move closer to the event. Given the present promising turn of events it is fair to say that the Forum is fast emerging as focal point for the discussion and analysis of the region’s key Energy Transition issues.
