Off to Krakow today to team up with PMR, one of Emerging Europe’s leading business publication companies for an Energy is GREAT webinar.
A virtual video conference where we get to present Poland’s €30 billion energy modernisation programme direct to UK companies across the UK.
Where’s the opportunity then. Let’s take a pragmatic view:
As a broad policy objective Poland is actively moving towards cleaner, more secure and efficient forms of energy.
This will take time as the country wrestles with a growing economy, a fundamental modernisation programme and the need to retain its competitiveness as a leading business destination in Emerging Europe.
What does that mean in practice and where are the opportunities for UK companies:
1. Coal – newer fossil fuel technologies, power facility refurbs and new power facilities
2. Gas – more of it from diverse sources and an upgrade in distribution
3. Nuclear – a development strategy which is based on tried, trusted, deliverable and financeable solutions ~ this is our strong point
4. Shale Gas – we know it’s there; can it be extracted efficiently and in sufficient quantities to be viable? There is opportunity for partnership here
5. Renewables – a range of potential options which have the potential to contribute
6. Grid development – a huge opportunity in itself and one which merits a detailed close analysis
Energy is Emerging Europe’s single largest development opportunity. If you are not here and engaging you need to be.
