Rolul Energiei Nucleare in Europa Centrala si de Est

More than a presence at an event, the participation of the Romanian Atomic Forum (Romatom) at Foren 2024 (WEC Central & Eastern Energy Forum) was a demonstration of its continuous commitment to promote members and supply chain in Romania.By active involvement in such events, Romatom not only supports the development of the energy sector, but also contributes to the strengthening of a strong and informed professional community.

Dozens of people visited the Romatom stand, scanned the QR-Cods that send to the LinkedIn websites / pages of our members and found information about the stage of the nuclear sector projects, etc.

The Regional Energy Forum of Central and Eastern Europe (Foren) 2024, held on June 16-19, brought together, in Neptune, leaders and experts in the energy sector.The event, reached its 17th edition, has gathered over 70 speakers in 10 debate sessions, completed by four technical works and an international exhibition.Under the theme "rethinking the future of the world through a safe, clean and effective energy", Foren 2024 stressed the importance of innovative and sustainable solutions in the energy field.More than 300 people participated in the opening session of the event.

Besides, One of the panels of the event was dedicated to nuclear energy in Central and Eastern Europe, with a moderate discussion by Teodor Chirica, president of the Board of Directors at Nuclearelectrica and honorary chairman of Romatom.In this context, Bogdan Termegan, the director of Romatom operations, contributed with the prospects regarding the evolution and sustainability of nuclear energy and, in particular, the new technologies in the field: small modular reactors.

Speakers in the panel dedicated to the role of nuclear energy in Central and Eastern Europe were:

  • Andrei GOICEA – Policy Director Nucleareurope
  • Csaba KISS – MVM Energy Plc. Hungary – Deputy CEO & Chief Generation Officer
  • Peter Farkas - Slovenske Elektrarne / Jaslovske Bohunice NPP Director
  • Borislav BOEV – Kozloduy NPP New Buildings PLC, Bulgaria, Chief Expert „Project Development” WEC Bulgaria, Secretary of Bulgarian Member Committee
  • Venko Stoev - Fel Bulgaria

Participation in Foren 2024 offered Romatom an ideal framework to keep discussions about the vital benefits of nuclear energy for the energy mix of Romania.In the current geopolitical context and in constant search for energy independence, nuclear energy offers a reliable and long -lasting alternative.The debates and presentations have underlined the importance of adopting new technologies, such as small modular reactors (SMRs), which promise to redefine the energy landscape through increased flexibility and efficiency.

In this edition of Foren, the Centenary of the World Energy Council (WEC) was also celebrated.

Invited to the Foren opening was and Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja.Here are the most important statements of the minister: "We participated in Foren-Wec Central & Eastern Europe Regional Energy Forum, organized by CNR-CME. Energy professionals form a special community, full of quality people. It was a pleasure to discuss the state, challenges and opportunities of the energy sector in Central and Eastern Europe and our steps for a safe, accessible energy.

I was happy to meet my friend from the Republic of Moldova, Victor Parlicov, one of the best energy ministers in the world.
This year, we managed to orient the investments on the right path, putting billions of euros to work:
• Investment 1 of PNRR was a success: 2000 MW of new energy production capacities from renewable sources.
• We complete the call for hydrogen capabilities (EUR 100 million), which will be launched soon.
• The modernization of CETs in Craiova, Constanța, Arad and Râmnicu Vâlcea begins, followed by those in Bucharest.
• I started the construction of CET Titan, the first new CET in Bucharest in the last 15 years.
• I signed no less than 60 contracts with UATs for self-consumption production.
• About 1 billion euros were contracted for the modernization of transport and distribution networks.
Also:
• The support scheme for storage capacities remains the zero priority.
• The Tarnița-Lăpuștești project is close to the completion of the feasibility study.
• The civilian nuclear program advances significantly, for both units 3 and 4 in Cernavoda and for SMRs.
• The East-West interconitor through a high voltage cable is in the phase of feasibility study.
I accelerated on all levels!The energy strategy of Romania, recent in public debate, together with PNIESC, will put orders in the development of the national energy sector.
There are a few days of intense discussions at Foren for a safe, accessible and green energy! ”
