"A well-focused
and informative conference to get updated on new investments
and the impact of the new European regulatory framework"
Philippe Chauve, European Commission
In the wake of the credit crisis, energy infrastructure projects
are in doubt as investors show reduced appetite for risk and more
stringent requirements are demanded by lenders. The combination
of costs and uncertainties over the timing of building new nuclear
plants and the development of carbon capture and storage means
new gas-generating capacity and renewables could become the more
attractive option.
The 2010 EPG Summit will address the critical
issues affecting the power portfolio and how to enable effective
forward planning despite volatile economic conditions
