Sustainable Energy Seminar in Sofia, Bulgaria, 13 December, 2010

Organised by Za Zemiata and INFORSE-Europe.

The European policy seminar presented the most important existing and new energy policies as well as prospects of coming EU policies.

A special presentation focussed on the Bulgarian implementation of EU's energy-efficiency policies with special emphasis on the Energy-Service Directive. In spite of the generally weak impact of this Directive, its implementation in Bulgaria seems to have boosted energy-efficiency activities.
There were presentations on strategies, which were discussed afterwards:
- An alternative electricity strategy presented by a researcher from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, and
- INFORSE-Europe - Za Zemiata Sustainable Energy Vision for Bulgaria presented by Gunnar Boye Olesen from INFORSE-Europe.
