National Energy Forum 2010 (in Dutch)

Euroforum will be organising the 15th National Energy Forum on 1 and 2 December 2010 at the Kurhaus Hotel in Scheveningen (The Hague). Part of the programme will involve submitting a set of controversial propositions to the Energy Executive Committee (1 December). Cecilia van der Weijden* will be representing CMS Derks Star Busmann on the Committee.

The energy sector is changing rapidly: the European energy market has been liberalised, and there is growing emphasis on economies of scale and consolidation. Europe is aiming to develop an electricity and gas infrastructure that transcends national borders and that will require an investment running to the billions. The Netherlands has a new Government. What does the future hold for energy in the Netherlands? Will government funding be cut? How quickly will a path be cleared for nuclear energy? In other words, what will the Dutch energy mix look like in the years ahead?

And what can we expect to see this year?

· More than thirty visionary speakers offering in-depth analyses
· Propositions that will provoke discussion with the Energy Executive Committee
· Energy Plaza, with plenty of opportunity to network
· Choice of twelve different Energy Special Interest Sessions
· Extra topical debate prior to the conference covering all the latest news in the Dutch energy market
