Event: What are the latest developments in the South-East European energy market? [GGP]
We have entered in an era of significant challenges but also opportunities for the region of South –East Europe when it comes to energy, but what is the future of the region both in the European Union (EU) and globally?
“South –East Europe will play a pivotal role in the energy sphere in the EU, particularly with Greece and its huge discoveries of natural gas reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean. Also the TurkStream gas pipeline will bring Russian supplies to Turkey and the EU. In addition, the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) will bring Caspian gas supplies via Turkey into the European Union” says Dr Mamdouh G. Salameh, International Oil Economist; Visiting Professor of Energy Economics at ESCP Europe in London and Speaker at the 4th HAEE Symposium to take place in Athens on 6-8 May, 2019.

The Greek energy market
Energy companies currently operate in a complex environment, with strong regulatory framework, ever-increasing competition, massive geopolitical influence, and changes in stakeholder expectations. In Greece, opportunities are numerous but so are the challenges.
The country's high dependence on fossil fuels, the structure of its current energy market, the energy and climate targets 2030 that aim to reduce dependence on lignite power and increase the use of renewable energy bring some questions:
- Could Greece attract the investment needed to achieve its energy transition?
- Is the global economy capable of the rapid move away from oil in the next few decades in order to reduce emissions or is it a process that require more time?
- Could Greece be the energy hub in Europe?
“Greece is at the heart of the energy scene in the European Union and the process of energy transition. Therefore, it will play a pivotal role and it will attract all the investment it needs for its own energy transition” said Dr Salameh. We invite you to watch his full interview here.
