2 Platts 6 th Annual European Power Summit Generation strategies for clean, secure, sustainable electricity April 28-29, 2015 London UK The Tower Platts is delighted to reveal that its market-leading 6 th Annual European Power Summit will once again take place on April, 28-29, 2015 in London for the very first time. Platts is presently sourcing the best speakers around for an event uniquely positioned for the major utilities, renewable energy companies, consultants and infrastructure and financial players. They will gather for frank discussion and unrivalled debate on many key topics, including effective strategies to tackle industry overcapacity and what governments should do to guarantee energy security while setting tougher carbon-emission targets and making power greener. This must-attend event will cover among many other topics: Explore wholesale market design, energy-only vs capacity markets, national vs EU actions is the internal energy market vision being suffocated by national intervention? Dissect new targets for the EU to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, raise efficiency and deploy renewables by 2030 and debate whether EU-level targets will promote EU-level solutions Investigate thermal generator business models threats and opportunities as seen by coal and gas plant operators Assess the prospects for regional cooperation and integration of renewables the views of transmission system operators and policymakers Examine the economics for new nuclear after Olkiluoto and Flamanville, can Hinkley Point C buck the cost/deadline trend for the EPR? Debate the measures needed to stimulate investment and improve investor confidence with the help of influential bankers and analysts Audience Europe s leading utilities, renewable energy companies, technology providers, vendors, infrastructure developers, analysts, banks, lawyers and consultants will come together at this event. Networking Platts Conferences understand the need for effective and valuable networking time, and this event will be no exception. Built into the two days are a number of dedicated social functions designed to facilitate participant interaction, including an evening drinks reception at the close of day one. I look forward to meeting you in London next April. Sincerely, Matthew Secker Conference Manager Platts European Power Summit 2015 matthew.secker@platts.com +44(0)
