The New Year offers the opportunity to formulate and advance an ambitious policy in energy towards security of supply and sustainable economic development. The rational exploitation of the region’s indigenous energy sources, the expansion of the network of gas pipelines and the close cooperation between the countries of our broader geographical area are some of the priorities in South-East Europe. More challenges lie ahead of us, especially in the electricity sector where great efforts are required in order to achieve the competitiveness and the transformation of the electricity system to a more sustainable one, with RES penetration and with the large power interconnections, expanding the European Electricity network and the electricity market in general. Innovative technologies combined with skilled human resources and improved energy efficiency will pave the way to the future. IENE with its members becoming part of an ever bigger family will continue to strive in order to improve the quality of its work and the services offered to its members.
Warm Wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year with More Sustainable and Affordable Energy!
