ABOUT THE SUMMIT

Newsweek Romania magazine organizes the fourth edition of the Energy Summit in a special context, in which the whole of Europe is affected by an energy crisis, the impact it has on the population and businesses in many other fields being more and more visible.

This situation brings to the fore the need to use energy from renewable sources, to abandon fossil fuels and to accelerate reforms to implement the European Green Pact.

This agreement, adopted at European Union level, has set very clear and quantifiable targets, to be achieved by 2050, and is a topical issue that is provoking heated debate in all Member States of the Community.

Although the target may seem to be at a very distant date, experts say that Romania has a chance to reach it only if it begins to constantly apply measures now and if it is involved with maximum responsibility for the radical transformation of the national energy system. 

And this change involves significant investments in
new production capacity, in smart grids, new ways to capitalize on natural gas / nuclear power plants, to support the integration and transition process.

What measures will the authorities take to protect the population against energy prices, with all the consequences derived from them in all areas of activity, how and how long can Romania switch to the use of energy from renewable sources, but also what other

measures should be taken for energy efficiency, are questions we will try to answer in this event. We will discuss the population protection programs, the necessary investment programs in the energy field and the financing methods, but also about the state of updating the legislation.
The event will take place online and will be broadcast live on newsweek.ro (Top 10 most read News and Analysis sites in Romania in the ranking published by SATI, with a traffic of over 2,2 million unique readers per month) and on the Facebook page of Newsweek Romania (over 55,000 followers and a monthly impact of posts – reach – of over 5 million people.
