At this critical time, Energy 2008: Challenges Across Europe brought together senior level speakers and attendees to analyse and debate the key challenges facing the sector. In a worsening economic climate, representatives from integrated energy companies, TSOs, regulators and professional services debated the steps the industry must take in order to build a secure, sustainable and profitable future for energy in Europe. Strategies to meet tough carbon reduction targets and the changing balance of the generation mix were discussed in depth. The event was particularly timely, as companies prepare for the European Commission's Third Energy Package and as market liberalisation continues to change the dynamics of the industry.
