South East Europe Regional Conference 2016

How is the South East European region progressing on power market integration, operational coordination and cooperation in planning? How to overcome current market fragmentation and to foster more liquid cross-border markets in the region? What are the regional infrastructure needs and how can the necessary investments be attracted to further ensure more effective development and use of infrastructure in the region? What is the potential for TSO-DSO cooperation, smart grids and data management at the regional level?

Reinforcing regional cooperation in markets, planning and operations is essential to achieve the Internal Energy Market (IEM) and deliver the benefits of the Energy Union to its citizens.

The third ENTSO-E regional conference will engage relevant stakeholders from the policy, industrial and academic sectors to explore the opportunities of increased cooperation within and across regions from the perspective of current developments in South Eastern Europe.

The FSR and ENTSO-E are teaming up with the TSOs of the SEE region from Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo*, FYROM, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia, as well as Turkey as an observer to discuss common projects, challenges and opportunities.

*This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSC 1244 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence.
