Energy infrastructure forum - Copenhagen, 23/24 giugno 2016

The Energy Infrastructure Forum was inaugurated on 9 - 10 November 2015 in Copenhagen. It was set up to discuss the major issues relating infrastructure and EU energy policy. Electricity and gas transmission infrastructure are key to achieving the completion of the internal market as well as public policy goals such as reducing CO2 emissions and energy security. The next Energy Infrastructure Forum takes place on 23 - 24 June 2016.

The Forum brings together, under the Commission's chairmanship, key stakeholders such as the members of the regional groups established for the TEN-E priority corridors (Member States, TSOs, NRAs, project promoters, ENTSO-E, ENTSO-G, ACER and EIB), along with the EU institutions (European Parliament, Committee of the Regions, the Economic and Social Committee who expressed their strong interest) and EU organisations (NGOs).

The Energy Infrastructure Forum is a platform for exchange of views between policy-makers and stakeholders. An open environment allows the Commission to get familiar with the stakeholders' concerns on practical challenges stemming from ambitious EU policy goals and to learn from their expertise. It is aimed at facilitating stakeholders' participation in the policy shaping process and making sure that legislation is goal-oriented, operational and comprehensive.

The event is on invitation only.
