GO NET ZERO ENERGY CENTRAL & EASTERN EUROPE

European Commission and International Energy Agency (IEA) to Headline Go Net Zero Energy CEE Summit in Bucharest

Senior representatives from the European Commission, International Energy Agency, and the Ministry of Climate and Environment will headline the Go Net Zero Energy CEE Summit 2026 on 10–11 June in Bucharest. The event will join regional energy leaders for two days of high-level discussions focused on the future of Central and Eastern Europe’s energy system.

As Central and Eastern Europe enters a defining phase of its energy transition, the summit will focus on the region’s most pressing challenges: strengthening energy security, accelerating renewable deployment, modernising infrastructure, and maintaining industrial competitiveness amid evolving EU climate targets and geopolitical pressures.

Leading the policy dialogue are:

  • Jan Dusík, Deputy Director-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA), European Commission
  • Akos Losz, Lead Gas Analyst, International Energy Agency (IEA)
  • Michał Łęski, Deputy Director of the Renewable Energy Sources Department, Ministry of Climate and Environment, Poland
  • Cristian Bușoi, Secretary of State, Ministry of Energy, Romania

The agenda will bring together policymakers, utilities, infrastructure operators, investors, and industrial energy users to examine the technologies, investment frameworks, and policy decisions shaping the next phase of the CEE energy transition.

To support wider regional participation, Go Net Zero Energy CEE operates an adaptive pricing policy, with special regional rates available for companies based in Eastern Europe.
