Agenda
10:00 – 10:15 Opening of the Conference
10:15 – 11:00 Introduction to the debate
11:00 - 12:30 Panel: Energy self-sufficiency of rural areas
In the face of the energy crisis in Europe after Russia's aggression against Ukraine, supporting the development of renewable energy sources is one of the most important issues for which urgent and effective solutions must be sought. In the first panel titled “Energy self-sufficiency of rural areas”, we will talk about the possibilities of supporting renewable energy in the field of energy policy in areas scattered across Poland, in particular, biogas plants; about what EU regulations should help in the development of RES in the countryside, and what financing model will be the most favourable to quickly achieve energy self-sufficiency in the countryside.
12:30 – 12:45 Break
12:45 - 14:15 Panel: Experience in the implementation of renewable energy investments in rural areas
Many different factors have contributed to the energy crisis, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It is painfully felt in rural areas, and has an influence on rising food prices. During the debate, we will talk about the experiences of entrepreneurs, officials and legislators in terms of functioning in the new reality. Can renewable sources be the answer to the current problems? How are RES investments in rural areas being implemented? How do Polish and EU institutions perceive these issues? How can we optimise energy consumption? We will learn the answers to these and many other questions during the discussion panel titled “Experience in the implementation of renewable energy investments in rural areas”.
