The Common EU Energy Policy: Wishful
Thinking or Reality?
In the face of the crisis in Ukraine EU members realised that a common approach to it is needed as geopolitical threats can weigh on their future. So perhaps there is also hope for the successful implementation of a
common energy policy that will make EU resistant to pressure from outside? So far, divergent interests of
individual member states, as well as activities of the climate lobby kept delaying its introduction. Perhaps in
the new political situation we will finally manage to build a solidarity mechanism in the event of a disruption of supplies, make any necessary infrastructure upgrades, step up shale gas exploration efforts, reestablish the dignity of coal and introduce a policy of joint power purchase.

Clean Coal Technologies - Prospects for
Development
Coal has been and for many years will remain one of the most important energy resources and the base
component of energy security in many countries, including Poland. However, traditional coal-based technologies do not make the most of “black gold” – especially in terms of energy efficiency potential and environmental challenges. New, so called clean coal technologies should lead to more efficient combustion of
coal with reduced emissions - perhaps even elimination - of greenhouse gases. What are the short, medium
and long term perspectives for clean coal technologies? What is the Polish experience in this respect? What
lies beneath mysteriously looking acronyms like: IGCC, DCFC, SCR, CCS or USPC?

How Much Will the Climate Package Cost?
The European Union will reduce CO2 emissions by at least 40 percent by 2030 relative to 1990 and will
increase the share of renewables to 27 percent. Besides that, less wealthy EU countries, including Poland,
will not bear the costs of ambitious climate policy on a par with the rich states - these are the main points of
the compromise reached by EU leaders at the EU summit in October. The climate and energy package still
arouses controversy. The dividing line is the impact of energy policy on the competitiveness of EU economies and the cost of energy transformation.

In the years 2014-2020, regional governments will manage approximately 40 percent funds from cohesion
policy – it is over 31 billion euro. They will invest the money within the regional operational programs. According to the draft of the Partnership Agreement, in order to reduce the emissivity of the economy (CO2),
activities that increase the energy efficiency of the economy will be supported, in particular: energy efficiency (public and residential buildings, businesses sector, municipal infrastructure), the effective transmission
(smart grid, heating network), effective production (cogeneration).

Civic Energy and Competitiveness
The aim of the debate is to try answer the question about how the civic energy sector might influence the
competitiveness of the Polish economy. Can the civic energy sector become a driving force of Polish innovations? It is vital to determine the impact of the prosumer energy generation on the local development,
especially in the context of creating new jobs, increasing energy efficiency and energy security (distributed
generation). It is also necessary to set up the regulatory environment, including barriers that hamper the
development of the civic energy sector, and to identify mechanisms shaping that environment. The issue is
also to be discussed what would be the model of collaboration between large-scale energy producers and
prosumers and what financial instruments can support its development.

The Geopolitical Importance of the Aegean - Baltic Energy Interconnection
The crisis in Ukraine has reconfirmed the need for a common European approach on energy security. The
development of energy infrastructure within the EU makes it possible for Central Europe to benefit from
diverse sources and routes, thus increasing the energy security. In 2014 in Budapest (Hungary) and later in
Narva (Estonia) foreign ministers discussed the concept of the Aegean-Baltic Energy Interconnection. The
goal of the corridor would be to create a robust energy infrastructure on the Eastern side of the EU which
would also be connected with the Southern Corridor. The recent developments in Lithuania (the Independence LNG) underline the raison d’être of this very concept. The panel aims to broaden the discussion and
confront a variety of point of views.

Energy-Efficient Buildings
Energy related occupant behavior in buildings is a key issue for building design optimization, energy diagnosis and performance evaluation due to its significant impact on real energy use and indoor environmental quality in buildings. However the influence of occupant behavior is under-recognized or over-simplified
in the design, construction, operation, and retrofit of buildings. Occupant behavior is complex, stochastic
and multi-disciplinary. Having a deep understanding of occupant behavior and being able to model and
quantify its impact on use of building technologies and energy performance of buildings is crucial in the
design process and usage of low energy buildings.

Energy Effect Agreement Code of Conduct
in “Transperense” Project
The Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU obliges Member States to renovate public buildings, to introduce energy efficiency obligations and to establish financing facilities for energy efficiency measures. The
binding measures contained within the Energy Efficiency Directive require considerable investment by
Member States at an early stage. Experience has demonstrated that Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can
be used to yield energy savings in the public sector; the main features of Energy Efficiency PPPs are similar
to those of accommodation PPPs. They use Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs) and the private partners
in these arrangements are known as Energy Service Companies (ESCOs). The panel discussion shall focus
on the major challenges in Energy Performance Contracting.

Innovations in Renewables – Investment
Costs Versus Future Profits
Any investment in renewables, whether it is a micro-installation or a regular power plant, requires funding
from a banking institution or a entrepreneur. However, both entrepreneurs and banks are afraid today of
long-term investments, as they are not able to guarantee sales volumes and green certificates on predictable terms. Therefore, the question is whether, and for whom, such investments are profitable today, and
how the new regulations will unlock the market in order to encourage long-term investments.

Waste-to-Energy Projects - Eco-Friendly or
Just Economy?
In last years, we have been observing in Poland an increased interest in waste-to-energy projects. Several
municipal waste incinerators are being constructed right now. Apart from this, we must take into consideration the existing systems, used by energy-intensive industries producing construction materials. The panel
will try to answer the question whether the increasing number waste-to-energy projects are motivated by
ecological reasons, or perhaps it is just a good, economically well-founded and profitable business. Waste
has become a major problem in modern society. Is there a chance, that new technologies will transform it
into a valuable source of cheap energy?

According to the Energy and Climate Package imposed by the European Commission on its member states,
Poland is required (by 2020) to produce 15% of energy in the national energy balance from renewable
sources (of which 1/3 produced by wind turbines). This means that Poland has to almost quadruple the
installed capacity of wind power by 2020. As the development potential of wind energy in Poland is considered high the crucial question of the discussion is how this development should be conducted on an equal
footing with regard to economic, social and environmental factors.

The structural reform of the EU ETS, which is currently under negotiations, aims to level out a disparity between CO2 allowance supply and demand, while also stimulating the CO2 allowance growth rate on the

go up, producers who seek to be competitive – quite the opposite. As for the investors, they expect stability and predictability. Is there a CO2 allowances price rate which would satisfy all market players? How to

entirely dependent on oil and coal, both of which it imported from the mainland. The experiment succeeded
and now Samsoe Model is something that inspires people throughout the world.
Denmark has set out an ambitious plan to make the country fossil independent within the year of 2050.

Completing the competitive, single electricity market is one of the main objectives of the EU energy policy.
Ever since the formulation of these objectives, this process has been running with a different intensity and
different dynamics, depending mostly on the level of development or possibilities of regional markets. As
a result of connecting of national markets, the liquidity and transparency of the regional markets has improved in recent time. Advanced connection of the markets in the Western part of the EU forces CEE countries to a more dynamic adjustment of the level of integration and cooperation.

The Rule of Law in the International Energy
Policy – the Role of International Treaties
and Agreements
The rule of law is a fundamental part of the way in which many of our societies are governed. Yet applying
and enforcing the rule of law in relations between sovereign states is a notch harder than managing lawbased societies within such sovereign states. When it comes to international energy cooperation, relations
between countries are often governed by either bilateral or multilateral treaties, and in the case of relations
between host governments and investors, concessional agreements of one type or another. Governance
in international energy relations has never been easy, however. Power politics has often moved ahead of
law-based relations in the global oil and gas business, given the extremely high stakes of the game. That
said, the rule of law struck back last year, when international arbitration rulings compelled the Russian government to pay out some $50 billion in compensation to former-shareholders of once powerful Russian oil
company, YUKOS. The courts ruled that the manner in which the Russian government expropriated YUKOS
assets had breached the Energy Charter Treaty, an investment protection instrument by which Russia was
judged to have been bound. The YUKOS case has therefore demonstrated just how powerful the rule of law
can be when it comes to the global energy game. Panellists will discuss the risks and benefits of the rule of
law in international energy relations, how effectively treaties and agreements underpin such ties between
countries, and what implications follow for both governments and investors in both the shorter and longer
term. Moderator:

Perfect Balance - In Search of an Optimal
Energy Mix
A well-designed energy mix is a backbone of a country’s energy strategy. On the one hand, it provides energy security and diversification of supply, on the other hand – a favourable environment for the development of domestic industry. Poland’s energy policy remains in the line with the European policies. What
should be the resultant force of cost efficiency, supply security and climate protection in the production
of energy in Poland? What are the possible scenarios? What is the role of the national energy mix against
the EU background? What should be taken into account when composing the optimal mix? Are we able to
cooperate regionally?

Nuclear Energy in Europe – How Much Politics, How Much Economy?
The panel aims to answer the following questions:
- Given the delays at the Olkiluoto and Flamanville projects, can new nuclear power plants in Europe
ever be built on time and budget?
- Even if nuclear energy is cheap and climate-friendly, can the European general public be persuaded
to accept it? - To what extent do you believe that heavily-subsidised renewable energy in Europe poses a threat to
nuclear power? - Are politicians out of step with the general public - is there actually more support for nuclear than they
believe?

Mining Industry Restructuring in Central
Europe: A Mission Impossible?
The transition from a fossil based energy production to renewable energies is a process carried out in different speeds in Central Europe. While some countries have entered into a rapid transition process other countries follow a different path and consider fossil fuels and other conventional energies as indispensable, also
in the long term. The countries following different strategies are all members of the EU and have agreed to
work towards a single market for energy in Europe. The panel shall discuss: What are the possible synergies
from these different approaches? What role will coal play in this process? How can such different strategies
be made compatible?

Political Premises and Business Opportunities
There are significant commonalities among the Eastern European members states of the EU with regard to
their energy dependence on an external monopolistic supplier of natural gas, their sizeable reliance on coal,
and their limited interconnectedness with each other and Western Europe. Will CEE and SEE states coordinate with each other in terms of energy and environment policies, both in
terms of joint common projects and in front of EU institutions? Will they be able to prioritize joint energy
projects and the common market design in front of separate deals with external state actors? Are the ensuing regional electricity and gas markets going to be able to integrate smoothly into the broader European
markets, or will they face compatibility issues?
How is state-centered planning going to be able to accommodate and make place to trans-national, market driven hubs and trade patterns? Will states in the region transition to a reduced role of strategic goalmakers, or will they continue to be significant asset owners?

Energy Storage Options for Future Sustainable Energy Systems
One of the great challenges in a non-fossil energy system with a high share of fluctuating renewable energy
is to align consumption and productionat timescales from seconds to years. Storage brings a wide spectrum of benefits to the electricity system as a whole and, utilities can employ them to integrate and optimise
all types of renewable energy resources and energy storage systems can contribute to grid stability and reliability. The investment costs of energy storage are considerable, however they will partly be offset as energy
storage reduce the cost of upgrading the transmission and distribution infrastructure.
