Gas Dilemmas in Central-Eastern Europe — How to Navigate Investment Uncertainty, Volatile Markets, and the Path to Net-Zero

Date: 20 October 2026, 9:00—15:30 

Venue: Budapest Music Center, 1093 Budapest, Mátyás utca 8. 

Language: Hungarian 

Central and Eastern Europe face an acute challenge: securing winter energy supplies amidst price volatility, while advancing legally binding decarbonization goals. At this year’s Regional Energy Policy Forum we aim to bridge the gap between macro-geopolitics (such as the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis) and local realities, directly addressing the risk of underutilized gas infrastructure alongside the rapid push to electrify the power and heat sectors. By bringing together top-tier European regulators from ACER, regional infrastructure operators, and leading clean energy analysts, we discuss how to navigate investments at both supply and demand sides. Join us in Budapest to discuss CEE’s energy dilemmas.
