About

Strengthening regional cooperation in all three dimensions of markets, planning and operations is indispensable towards achieving the Internal Energy Market and towards delivering the benefits of the Energy Union to European citizens. The CEE Regional Conference, the second among three ENTSO-E regional conferences in 2016, will explore the opportunities of enhanced cooperation within and across regions from the perspective of current developments in Central and Eastern Europe.

Where are we on power market integration in Europe, between Central East and Central West, 27 years after the end of the East-West divide? What are the regional infrastructure needs and how can the necessary investments be attracted? How does market, planning and operational cooperation progress, and how will the regional security coordinators further deliver results? What challenges and opportunities in the areas of TSO-DSO cooperation, smart grids and data can we expect in the future?

Mr Jerzy Buzek, MEP
