New Build South-East Europe 30 and 31 October, Istanbul, Turkey

Arena International is pleased to announce the New Build South-East Europe conference, to be held in Istanbul, Turkey on 30 and 31 October.

The event, which returns for its second year, will discuss the latest strategies, technologies and developments being implemented in the south-east European region, with a special emphasis on Turkey.

With ever-increasing demand for power and an evolving mix of power generation companies are looking to new technologies to help meet stringent emissions laws and targets. Currently, the most efficient way to combat these targets seems to be with new build developments, especially in south-east Europe.

Key topics at the conference

Presentation topics will include:

• Outlining the impact of EU policy changes, wholesale market and regulatory framework on the power industry’s development in south-east Europe
• Evaluating the progress made in liberalising south-east Europe’s energy market to promote investment
• Assessing the power market and price situation for the industry in CEE and SEE in the recession
• Analysing key regulatory, technical and commercial issues associated with connection and integration in the energy grid to overcome hurdles posed by local planning schemes and regulatory frameworks
• Analysing investment issues to encourage and promote the financing of new build projects
• Overcoming the ongoing investment obstacles that arise during and pre-construction
• Western Europe case study: A strategic look at increasing the appeal of your project for potential investors
• A leading utility’s perspective on new build and current market developments

New Build South-East Europe will provide a well-balanced mix of strategic and technical insights to help European utilities discover the direction the power market is heading and delve into the latest technological and regulatory developments.
