The Central Europe Energy Partners (CEEP) in cooperation with the European Commission (DG Energy) have already organized four editions of the Central European Energy Day (CEDE) in Brussels. This year, the Polish Electricity Association (PKEE) will be a partner of the event.
In 2020, CEEP also intends to continue to promote the Central European point of view on the key developments in the European energy policy. The main goals of the CEDE initiative are to provide comprehensive information concerning the ongoing transition of the Central European energy sector and to discuss the challenges and opportunities related to this process. The event will also demonstrate how companies transform their businesses in line with the EU policy objectives taking into account the local, national and regional specificities.
The 5th edition of CEDE will focus on offshore wind development in Central Europe, particularly in the Baltic, Black and Adriatic Seas. Wind energy has become a major driver for RES deployment in Europe and around the world – and it seems fundamental to reaching Europe’s climate and energy targets in an effective way.
CEDE is a place to take a closer look at all the aspects of offshore wind business in Central Europe and discuss different solutions.
The event will host Mme Commissioner Kadri Simson and the Lithuanian Minister for Energy – Mr. Zigmuntas Vaiciunas, as keynote speakers, together with a number of key energy experts from the European Commission.
