Competitiveness (C)
DESCRIPTION:
In times of depleting fossil fuel-based sources of energy, the competitiveness of new sources of energy becomes crucial. To identify other energy sources and methods by which electricity can become more competitive and accessible to consumers, it is important to analyze the global energy market conditions and trends to see how sustainable policies and economic power can help us to reach more consumers worldwide.
Hence, there is a need to understand energy markets comprehensively. Furthermore, we need to address risk management and regulations for new regulatory interventions in a post-pandemic world considering different geopolitical scenarios. Moreover, we need to address the impact of energy reforms, cutting-edge technology, and climate ambitions.
KEY QUESTIONS:
1) In which direction is the energy sector moving?
2) Has the quest to tap the cheapest source of energy changed power generation trends?
3) How have the pandemic and the geopolitical scenario impacted the perspectives of energy markets? What is the impact in your region?
4) How are regulators addressing climate risk management and greenhouse gas emission reduction (Net Zero)?
5) What is the future of energy demand? How are governments and consumers changing their energy consumption?
