EvENt INtROdUctION
The exploitation of renewable energy contributes not only to security of energy supply, but also to sustainable development, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to the development of a knowledge-based industries, job creation, economic growth and rural development. ANdRIS PIEbALgS EU commissioner for Energy
The recent credit crunch has made it more difficult to implement large scale projects. While financing is again becoming more readily available, investors remain cautious and selective. At the same time, the factors that drive the development of renewable energy infrastructure economic, technological, regulatory, etc. are present with an increasing urgency. EU member states are under pressure to outline their strategies for reaching the 2020 targets. Yet many old issues are still unsolved, even as new ones emerge. This event brings together public sector and industry stakeholders to address those issues and outline possible solutions. Speakers at this event will share their insights about both the strategy and the economics of renewable energy development. Joining this event you will learn about the strategies contained in the National Action Plans the available subsidies and incentives for various sectors Project bankability criteria Acquiring financing for your projects the challenges and developments in the fields of transmission and storage Updates on the legislative and regulatory situation Ongoing and planned projects Risk mitigation strategies
