Overview of Conference Sessions
Europe is facing an urgent need for sizeable power generation and infrastructure investments over the Session I next decade – an estimated one trillion euro by 2020. 2050 Vision: Getting from Promise to Practice Will critical investments be realised in time? Can the industry keep its promise of carbon-neutral generation Against the background of EU and international roadmaps and strategies for a low-carbon economy by 2050, EURELECTRIC will set by 2050? What are the challenges / risks? What role do out the industry’s commitment to concrete actions as laid down in governments play? How can public acceptance be gained? its 2009 CEO declaration. The theory is however being met with These, and other questions, will be debated in a two- a number of conflicting and incoherent policies and regulation day EURELECTRIC conference focused on “delivering that are slowing down the process. Speakers and panellists alike investments to meet Europe’s energy and climate needs” will outline the need for functioning markets and strong political in Stockholm, Sweden on 13-14 June*. leadership, above all, in the move towards a low-carbon energy economy. The session will thus set the scene for debate on the main theme of the conference: appropriate governance, appropriate investment. Session II Investment Prospects and Governance Issues There is a recognised need within Europe and globally for massive investments in energy infrastructure in the next decade. However, a key challenge for European policy-makers will be to ensure a stable and predictable regulatory regime to incentivise the needed investments in Europe – in power generation and high voltage transmission infrastructure, storage and demand side measures. The session includes two parallel panel discussions: one on the overall investment climate and key challenges facing the industry and one on investment in renewables and its specific challenges.
Executive CEO Forum Do Markets Still Have a Role? The challenges confronting the industry on the path towards a low-carbon energy future are numerous, but the sector can and will deliver if the policy framework is right. Crucial in this regard is the need for a European perspective. With 27 different national approaches and systems when it comes to supporting renewable energies or CHP, with in addition a variety of national taxes and levies, and with EU DSO Event ETS timescales that fail to align with long pay-back timescales for remunerating low carbon investments, the regulatory framework The Changing Picture for large-scale investments is not encouraging. A greater of Distribution Networks – European focus, greater coherence between environment and The 2030 DSO Vision energy policy and a much more consistent market-orientation The long-term vision for smart grids is clear, but turning is what is urgently needed to move towards a harmonised it into reality is quite a different story. The emergence of European energy market. EURELECTRIC executives will use renewables, distributed generation and electric vehicles demand this occasion to debate the question “do markets still an infrastructure that actively integrates the actions of generators, have a role?”. consumers and parties that do both. There are several hundred projects already under way in Europe and this “mini” EURELECTRIC DSO event aims to provide some insight into lessons learnt and experiences gained. Smart grids clearly require smart regulation to realise their full potential, and panellists will thus focus on what policy changes are required at EU and Member State level to prepare the European distribution grids to take on the upcoming challenges for the benefit of customers and society as a whole.
* Based on figures from last year’s annual conference, EURELECTRIC will offset the foreseen CO2 emissions of its 2011 event through cooperation with the non-profit foundation “my climate”, in Switzerland. 1 Swedenergy Welcomes you to Stockholm Join the Pre Conference Tour!

As a leading producer of energy-efficient solutions, ABB helps deliver major power sawings, whitout compromising performance. Our lighting control systems can deliver power sawings of up to 50 percent, and our building automation up to 60 percent. While everone else is talking about energy prices, power shortages and climate change, ABB is doing something about it, right here, right now. www.abb.com/betterworld Certainly. You too can run an energy company in the future. As more electricity is generated from solar and wind, the energy grid needs to smarten up. It must be able to handle electricity from local providers, such as yourself, as a complement to the total production. But also automatically charge your electric car and turn on the washing machine at the most effi cient hour. This and much more is being tested as we speak, and soon Norra Djurgårdsstaden in Stockholm will become the world’s fi rst city area with a built-in smart energy grid. Join us in the hunt of tomorrows energy. day 1 confirmed speakers
