The first of the three ENTSO-E regional conferences will take place in Vilnius on 1 June 2016 and will bring together high-level representatives from the policy, industry, academia, and NGO sectors to discuss future electricity strategies for the Baltic Sea region. The Conference will inquiry about possible solutions to enable the Baltics to become a bridge between East and Western Europe and the options for further electrical integration of these countries into the ENTSO-E area.

The event will open with a panel dedicated to ‘The Energy Union from promise to practice in the Baltic region’ , where Andris Piebalgs, former European Commissioner for Energy and Senior Fellow at the FSR, will discuss the current and future implementation of the Energy Union in the region.
