Winding down nuclear energy - the declared political
goal of the German federal government - as well
as deregulation of the electricity market are
the two major issues preoccupying the energy sector
at present. The consequences of these political
decisions for the German electricity industry
and its competitors particularly the European
ones, deserve closer analysis.
Both economic and
technological issues are at the core of the debate.
The
pivotal importance of elictrical energy to welfare
and economic growth in all sectors of the world
will also be a central issue.
Energy Summit
Part I: Energy policy
The Energy Summit on 22 March 2000 will begin
with a high-calibre panel discussion on the subject
of energy policy. Politicans and managing directors
of well-known companies will be discussing a new
policy implications of a competitive energy market
and the future potential of renewable energy sources.
Issues debated will include the role and acceptance
of state intervention in the new market-led system.
Part
II: Energy industry
Tkis section will focus on the economic consequences
of the liberalised electricity market in Europe,
with insights from top level representatives of
the energy industry. Competition tends to encourage
a continual search for the best possible purchasing
and supply structures. It is therefore to be expected
that the introduction of competition to the electricity
market will put even more pressure oj technology
providers to improve the performance levels of
energy plants.
Part
III: First steps toward a Hydrogen industry -
full steam ahead!
You
can follow discussions with international experts
about the implementation of renewable energies
in a combined hydrogen economy. The world market
leaders will present recent examples of cheap
hydrogen fuel production and give examples of
worldwide activities in the use of fuel cells
for transportation and household applications.
New ideas
The Energy Summit 2000 will provide you with new
impetus for those all-important strategic decisions.
Make sure you are there to hear some controversial
political, technological and economic viewpoints
on the subject of " Leaving the nuclear energy
- where we are moving to?"
