InvesTenergy continues the tradition and organizes a double event on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, under the patronage of the National Energy Regulatory Authority: the annual conference with the theme “We invest and act responsibly in ENERGY”, the 6th edition, and the Gala dedicated to the Specialists “To we put People from Energy into Light!”, 3rd edition.

Specialists, key people from the energy sector, representatives of the Ministry of Energy, Parliament, ANRE, universities and professional associations, companies in the field, investors, lawyers, journalists meet on October 10, at Le Chateau – the Castle in the heart of Bucharest, for to debate together the most important topics in energy and, with great admiration and appreciation, to shine a light on energy specialists. An audience of over 130 people.

In the midst of the energy transition process, we are taking part in major changes in terms of energy throughout the world and Romania must respond appropriately to the challenges and opportunities. We are at a stage where we have new challenges related to access to energy, energy poverty and security, as well as pollution and climate change. We need to act, which is why we need a constructive and committed dialogue about the future, a harmonization of decisions at national and local level and their immediate implementation. The decisions we make now must be responsible, reach a consensus and stop changing direction so often. Through the chosen theme, we aim to continue to develop a constructive dialogue that constitutes a realistic assessment of the current situation in the energy sector, with the proposal of a responsibly applied treatment for the existing problems and that leads to decisions taken for strategic investments in energy!
