important economic events in the Polish energy sector, involving European and
national opinion leaders, representatives of the central and local governments,
as well as a wide range of experts and executives the most important companies
in the energy sector in Poland and the European Union. The conference is
organized by the one of the most respected Polish opinion-making newspaper
“Rzeczpospolita” and had an honorary patronage of the president of the Energy
Regulatory Office Maciej Bando.
The conference lasted three days and
covered all the areas of energy sector that might be of an interest of the
business and the governmental institutions. Starting from the renewables,
through exploration of natural resources, necessary investments in the sector,
finishing on the climate package of EU, the discussions aimed to cover all the
areas that relate to the current affairs.
To give an idea what sort of discussions
have been raised, we sum up a few of pursued panels:

-
Priorities of the Polish energy policy

operating within energy sector
-
Coal as a primary fuel for power
-

The President of the Energy Regulatory
Office, Maciej Bando, took part in the discussion. His opinion as the
representative of the policy-making body in the sector is very relevant, as it
enables other participant to speculate the development of policies and co-operation
that the government will try to establish in the coming years. Bando, in his
presentation, drew attention to the need to strengthen collected propensity to
invest in the energy sector. Furthermore, adoption of the decree setting out Polish
energy policy horizon up to 2050 should be accompanied by more detailed
tactical and operational programs, including investment impulses for all energy
