Conference and Exhibition

Join leading public and private sector experts in a dynamic networking environment to debate and solve the current issues facing the development of the Baltic Energy market.

With increasing energy demands and dependency on imported energy, the Baltic States are looking for new supply options. National incumbents and international investors alike are looking to the unfolding opportunities in the Baltic States, but can the potential of LNG and Renewables be realised, and what future remains for Gas, Nuclear, Oil Shale and other sources?

The 3rd EU Energy Package is driving changes in the structure of European energy markets, but what impact will this have on the Baltics for energy producers, transporters, traders and consumers? Gas is a fundamental energy source in the Baltic states, but recent price fluctuations and security of supply threats have left a few question marks, so what are the Baltic states doing to ensure affordable and regular supply? How far has BEMIP been achieved and what remains to be completed?

Our 4th annual event will unite key players from across the energy industry, both from private and public sectors, tackling these key questions and other issues facing the development of the Baltic Energy market.The event will also address the bankability and viability of energy projects for private sector investors, including expert scrutiny of the risks and challenges from a range of international professionals, in addition to industry analysis and perspective from the leading regional energy companies.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your presence in the Baltic market, investing in energy projects or want to find out about the future direction of the Baltic energy market, this event will exceed all your requirements.
