Setting the stage
Romania Energy Center (ROEC) in partnership with the Institute of Energy for South East Europe (IENE) and the European Commission representation in Bucharest are joining forces once again to convene a one-day event to examine current topics of the region’s energy agenda. Our central theme – energy policies currently pursued in South East Europe and the changes in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine.
In this segment, moderated by Christos Dimas (Institute of Energy for South East Europe – IENE), you can hear interventions from Eugenia Gusilov (ROEC) and Mara Roman (Deputy Head of the European Commission Office in Bucharest)
Followed by presentations from:
• Costis Stambolis (Executive Director of IENE) on Regional overview on decarbonization policies
• Teodor Chirica (Chairman of the Board of Directors Nuclearelectrica, Romania) speaking on COP 28 and the role of nuclear (presentation prepared together with Octavian Rosca)
• Ramona Moldovan (Romanian Energy Ministry) with an Overview on funding available for new RES projects in Romania
• Marius Lungu (European Commission) with a video message on the topic of REPowerEU

New developments and cutting edge policies
Romania Energy Center (ROEC) in partnership with the Institute of Energy for South East Europe (IENE) and the European Commission representation in Bucharest are joining forces once again to convene a one-day event to examine current topics of the region’s energy agenda. Our central theme – energy policies currently pursued in South East Europe and the changes in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine.
Moderated by Eugenia Gusilov, this panel was about the new EU sectorial policies, specifically hydrogen, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), renewables and methane emissions.
Viewers of this panel can hear presentations from:
• Zsuzsa Bereschi (Horvath) on Romania\\\'s approach to hydrogen
• Bogdan Termegan (RoPower Nuclear) on SMRs and Romania\\\'s first-of-a-kind project at Doicesti
These 2 presentations were followed by a discussion and questions from the audience. The segment concluded with 2 pre-recorded video messages from:
• Nikolas Sofianos (IENE) on RES in South East Europe
• Raul Cazan (2Celsius) on methane emissions, a topic less known to the public, but gaining more attention lately in Brussels as well as globally.

PANEL 1 of the conference on \\\\\\\"Energy transition in South East Europe: Policy and Investment Challenges\\\\\\\" organized by Romania Energy Center (ROEC) in partnership with the Institute of Energy for South East Europe (IENE).
A Great Transition is underway, a process that is as much about efficiency, electricity and heat, clean transport, green cities or smart buildings, as it is about RES or EV deployment, coal phase out, and new nuclear projects. Europe has long been a leader of this global effort. Within Europe, Scandinavia and the UK are driving this effort. In the last decade alone, the UK and Denmark have achieved the largest national reduction in coal use (switching 25% of their electricity supply from coal to gas and renewables). Germany has become a global leader in wind and solar power (ranking 1st for solar and 3rd for wind capacity installed per person). When it comes to the electrification of transport (EVs), Norway is in a league of its own.
South East Europe as a region, on the other hand, is lagging behind. Despite an excellent renewable energy potential (according to IRENA, the region has up to 740 GW of RES potential), the region’s wind (532 GW) and solar PV (120 GW) potential is largely untapped.
The conference examines the latest developments which relate to Energy transition in the South East European region, with a focus on Romania and Greece, as well as issues such as obstacles, policy, role of natural gas and district heating, all within the larger framework for a carbon-neutral economy in this region.
