The energy sector is undergoing a remarkable transformation, driven by factors such as the rapid growth of renewable energy, advances in digital technologies, and the urgent need to address climate change. Energy regulators are at the forefront of this transformation, tasked with ensuring the smooth and efficient functioning of energy markets, safeguarding consumer interests, and fostering a sustainable and secure energy future.
The objective of the workshop is to offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity for ERRA-member decision makers to obtain strategic foresight from high-level representatives of select prominent international organisations involved in the energy sector regarding specific tendencies in the energy sector and other anticipated developments in the mid-term. The workshop will foster discussions on the manner in which policy commitments, technological development and innovation are impacting energy systems across the whole value chain. Information gathered during the workshop together with a unique networking opportunity will help ERRA decision-makers to understand the current dynamics in the industry and prepare for upcoming policy and regulation adjustments.
Topics covered will include – inter alia – the new shape of energy systems, climate pathways of emerging and frontier markets, energy security in energy transition, future of natural gas and nuclear, outlook for energy demand and many others.
