Preparations for this year’s SE Europe Energy Dialogue, which is to be held in Thessaloniki on June 19/20, are going full speed ahead. The town of Thessaloniki, Greece’s northern capital, will once again host this year’s colloquium, which is attaching great interest from SE Europe and the East Mediterranean. Detailed information including the agenda of the 15th SEEED and confirmed speakers you may find here.

From the very start the “SEE Energy Dialogue” has been established by IENE as an important regional event spanning the entire energy spectrum and involving most countries in the region. The purpose of this regional forum, which is being organized with the support of leading and regional organizations and major energy companies, is to bring together high-ranking government officials, senior business executives and energy experts from all countries of S.E. Europe and beyond. The objective being the free exchange of information and ideas, networking and the advancement of cooperation between all countries in SE Europe.

The “SEE Energy Dialogue” has been conceived as an open forum for furthering the idea of a SE European energy bridge between East and West and North of South, and for promoting initiatives aimed at tackling the region’s complex energy and environmental challenges.

Europe, and particularly SE Europe, is highly dependent on imported fossil fuels and in this sense the efforts for decarbonization and energy autonomy will be discussed at length in the forthcoming SEE Energy Dialogue. The quest for clean energy solutions, including nuclear power, will be at the heart of this important regional meeting. The “Energy Dialogue” will also cover the latest developments in the region’s evolving natural gas, electricity and RES markets and the ongoing energy partnerships with major oil and gas suppliers.

Energy security will once again be at the forefront of the debate concerning the safeguarding of oil and gas supplies to the region in view of ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The role of alternative gas supply routes, LNG shipments, cross border interconnections and electricity grid upgrades and international electricity interconnections together with latest achievements in renewable energy and CCUS applications will also be examined.

The 15th SE Europe Energy Dialogue will be held at The Met Hotel in Thessaloniki. The conference will start at on Wednesday afternoon, June 19 to be followed by the official cocktail reception and will end on Thursday afternoon, June 20. The detailed event programme is under preparation and will be announced shortly.

The “Energy Dialogue” is being supported by major energy and services companies including HELLENiQ ENERGY, HEREMA, EnSCo and the KG Law Firm.
