Bucharest, June 12, 2015: The Diplomat-Bucharest organizes ROMANIAN ENERGY EFFICIENCY SUMMIT 2015 on June 12, at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Bucharest, on the topic of the current guidelines of Energy Efficiency legislation and the way the law is reflected in the practice of The National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency in Romania.
The event is organized under the auspices of ANRE – The Regulations Committee of the National Authority for Energy Regulation, with strategic partner AMR- Association of Romanian Municipalities, ESCOROM, ARPEE- Romanian Association for the Promotion of Energy Efficiency, gold partners CEZ, Nalco, Tuca Zbarcea si Asociatii, with partner Energy Serv and the support of World Energy Council.
The national policies in energy aim at achieving the national objective of improving the energy efficiency by 2020, with a national target to reduce the energy consumption by 19 per cent. Also, the implementation of energy efficiency policies initiated in January 2014 targets a 1.5 per cent yearly savings within the total energy amount sold to end consumers.
By this event, the discussion sessions plan to reveal the current practice of Energy Efficiency legislation and the echoes of its policies all along the energy chain: resources, producers, distributors, suppliers, transporters and consumers. The objective of the proposed debate, comprised also in the national energy efficiency policies, plans to break down the barriers limiting the promotion of energy efficiency policies and reveal the available mechanisms and financial tools to empower the practice of the energy efficiency law.
