Arena International is proud to announce that our New Build South-East Europe conference will be held in Istanbul, Turkey on 30 and 31 October.

The event, which is now in its second year, will discuss the latest developments, technologies and strategies being implemented in the south-east European region, with a special emphasis on Turkey.

As the need for power increases and the power generation mix evolves, companies are looking to new technologies in order to meet stringent emissions laws and targets. Currently it looks as if the most efficient way to combat these targets is by new build developments, especially in the south-east Europe region.

New Build South-East Europe presentation topics

Presentation topics include:

• Outlining the impact of changes in EU policy, regulatory framework and wholesale market on the development of the power industry in south-east Europe
• Evaluating the progress made in the liberalisation of the south-east Europe energy market to promote investment
• Assessing the power market and price situation for the industry in CEE and SEE in the recession
• Analysing key regulatory, technical and commercial issues associated with connection and integration with the energy grid to overcome obstacles posed by local planning schemes and regulations
• Analysing investment hurdles to encourage and promote financing for new build projects
• Overcoming the ongoing investment hurdles that arise during the construction and pre-construction phases
• Western Europe case study: A strategic look at how to increase the attractiveness of your project for potential investors
