9th Annual CEE Energy Conference – Financing future energy Warsaw, Poland, March 20-21, 2013

With increasing energy demands, dependency on imported energy, outdated generation capacity and ever-increasing regulatory demands, CEE nations are looking for new supply options. National incumbents and international investors alike are interested in the unfolding opportunities across the region. Hope is pinned on the upgrading of existing nuclear and coal facilities, as well as new generation capacity such as solar and wind. However, are these projects bankable and do they have adequate support to meet EU targets? Beyond generation capacity, there is a chronic need for transmission and distribution networks to be upgraded and expanded, particularly if renewable projects are to go online and to foster greater regional trading. Through feature and case study presentations from leading experts and interactive panel discussions with industry stakeholders, the 9th Annual event will provide an in-depth analysis of the market discussing future trends, regulation and legislation, bankability of energy projects, financing options and more.

This event will unite senior-level representatives from incumbent and private utilities; international investors and financiers; consultants and advisors; leading law firms and many more industry experts who are looking to the unfolding opportunities in CEE in order to assess whether the potential can be realized.
