  1. The Black Sea Region: Energy as a Strategic and Integration Factor EIN Summer University (22/09/11) Kilian Gross Deputy Head of Unit DG ENER A/1

  2. Energy policy as a stabilising factor • Energy policy has always as well been peace policy as the Coal and Steel Treaty illustrates. • External energy policy becomes increasingly a key element in EU energy policy as a whole.

  3. EU energy goals Competitiveness Sustainability Security of Supply

  5. However, the potential for renewables is huge • Georgia: untapped hydro resources (20 TWh/y), significant potential for wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. • Ukraine: huge biomass potential (ten times it current levels), also potential for wind, solar and geothermal energy. • Turkey: target of 30% of renewables in electricity by 2023 (17% in 2008). Electricity demand is supposed to double until 2020. Renewable target of 30 % in electricity by 2023. • Romania: potentially 17 TWh/y hydro, 23 TWh/y wind, 88 TWh/y biomass (total net electricity production in 2009 was 53 TWh). • Bulgaria: potential estimated at 52 TWh/y, hydro and biomass in particular (total net electricity production in 2009 was 39 TWh).

  7. EU Energy Community Parties Energy Community Observers Other Neighbourhood Policy Countries Extension of the EU energy market to the neighbourhood The EU is projecting its energy market model as well as political and economic stability in neighbouring countries including through the Energy Community Treaty.

  8. Outlook: Communication on security of energy supply and internal cooperation of 7.09.2011 • Global concept for our energy partnerships with third countries. • Transparency mechansim for IGAs/EU-level agreements should be considered when more effective. • Network integration and diversification of supply routes/Key priority: Southern Corridor. • Deepen and extend the Energy Community Treaty, focus on effective implementation. • Baku initiative and Eastern Partnership Security Platform remain key frameworks for regional energy dialogue.
