Event Description

Central European Energy Partners would like to invite you for the 5th Central European Day of Energy (CEDE) on 2 December from 10.00 to 13.00.

This time, the CEDE will focus on offshore wind development in Central Europe, particularly in the Baltic, Black and Adriatic seas. According to the EU forecasts, up to 450 GW of offshore capacity needs to be installed in the EU by 2050 to keep temperature rises below 1.5°C.

But what’s really happening with offshore wind in Central Europe ? Our speakers will tell you about the latest developments in renewable policies as well as about some ground-breaking projects.

The CEDE is a place to take a closer look at all aspects of offshore wind energy sector in Central Europe and to discuss its challenges, opportunities and possible solutions.
