Central Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia) accounts for around a fifth of the EU's electricity consumption. It includes the EU's fifth largest consumer, Poland, which is also the trading bloc's largest coal producer.
In recent years the CEE region has been shaking off its historical image as an area dominated by heavy industry, coal and gas - the percentage of solar power in Poland's generation mix jumped from nothing to nearly 5% in just three years - at the same time as markets in the region have become more transparent. These trends seems unlikely to reverse, in spite of the Polish government's U-turn on a coal phase-out by 2030 at this month's COP26.
For this year's CEE Energy Day on Wednesday 24th November, from 14.00 to 16.30 we'll host five individual webinars: covering everything from the future of Polish coal to the looming spectre of a geopolitical gas crisis with Russia and the future of automated trading in the region.
The webinars are made possible thanks to the support of our partners ABN-AMRO Clearing, Axpo, EPEX SPOT, Fenics Market Data, Nord Pool and StormGeo.
Registration and attendance is entirely free, and you can find the full program here.
