It is a very interesting period for the European electricity system, which is undergoing big, systematic changes. The transition towards a low-carbon economy means a growing role for renewable energy sources, greater energy efficiency and the electrification of transport and other sectors, which power markets have to respond to.

Poland and Ukraine in gas: together, yet somehow separate. Will US LNG change that?
The Polish-Ukrainian Gas Forum which I had the pleasure to moderate was a feast for natural gas sector analysts.

Socialization, or how to chip in to pay for the LNG terminal?

This was one of the issues raised by scientists who gathered at a conference in Kraków – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, BiznesAlert.pl’s editor in chief.
