Energy transition and power market trends towards 2030
Nivel 3
12 march 2026
Cursul se desfasoara in limba engleza
European electricity markets are undergoing a structural transformation. The rapid expansion of renewables, increasing system volatility, grid constraints, and evolving EU market design are reshaping how value, risk, and responsibility are distributed across the power system.
For Romanian electricity market participants, this transformation is not theoretical. As part of the integrated European power market, developments in Germany, the Nordics, Southern Europe, and neighbouring regional markets increasingly influence prices, congestion patterns, contractual structures, and regulatory expectations in Romania. Local decisions are therefore inseparable from European market dynamics.
This 3-hour executive workshop is designed to provide a European market perspective, while translating the implications into practical strategic questions relevant for Romanian participants.
The focus is on flexibility, storage, and contract design as emerging determinants of competitiveness across Europe — and on how companies can avoid common value traps observed in multiple EU markets.
Rather than deep technical detail, the session emphasizes decision-making under uncertainty, lessons learned from other European markets, and forward-looking strategic choices that Romanian market participants will increasingly face.
