The Diplomat – Bucharest, the English language business magazine in Romania organizes on Tuesday September 30, 2014, starting 9:00 AM, at Crowne Plaza Hotel, the “Energy consumption decline – threat or opportunity?” exclusive conference.
Representatives of the Romanian Ministry of Economy and Energy Department and of the national energy regulatory bodies will meet key players in both electricity and gas business to share their views on the actual economy paradox: lower electricity and gas consumption in days of economic growth.
On this discussion the participants will search for clues, will share ideas and try to turn on the light over the interesting situation that energy business in Romania is facing these days.

TOPICS TO DISCUSS

• Breaking the link between economic growth and energy and gas consumption.
Was it ever there from the beginning?
• The impact of energy consumption decline. How is this affecting the energy sector, the investors and the energy producers.
• The situation of the Romanian gas market and the actual regional context. The economics scenarios that will get us safe towards the spring: are we going to use our own resources or the external ones?
• The gas liberalisation agenda and how will be influnced the households and companies by the price.
• The regional market opening impact
• Legislative changes and their print on the energy consumption
