2006-03 Regional Electricity and Gas Markets in South-East Europe
May 29-30, 2006

Objectives

Within the scope of EU Directives, Lisbon Agenda (Strategy) and Florence and Athens Forums, regional electricity and gas markets constitute the path to the internal European energy markets. The South-East European Market is one of the prospective regional markets. The path to the internal market leads trough liberalisation of the national markets, creation and integration of the regional markets and cooperation between regions including investments in the infrastructure. This course is intended to explain and/or define:
• the concepts and the roles of the South-East European Electricity and Gas Markets,
• their benefits and constraints for member countries in the scope of security of supply, regulation changes and harmonization and energy costs and savings through the introduction of competition,
• tools for creation, operation and planning of a competitive market,
• investments in the grid and generating facilities,
• interactions of electricity and gas markets through existing and prospective/planned gas fired power plants,
• expected benefits for final customers in electricity and gas.
Best practices and experiences from others and more progressive national and regional markets will be used as appropriate guidance.
