Economic governance in a new energy era

At a time of profound geopolitical shift and in a climate emergency, energy security is a defining challenge which demands decisive action. This session will explore how integrating investment with robust economic governance and proactive public-sector leadership can advance the energy transition and strengthen energy security. Participants will discover how bold reforms and innovative strategies from state-owned enterprises are helping to transform the energy sector across the EBRD regions.

By fostering independent sector regulation within a supportive policy framework, countries can accelerate the adoption of renewable energy and storage technologies, reduce exposure to external shocks and secure a stable path to a low-carbon future. Join us for practical insights into how sound economic governance can turn crises into catalysts for resilience and growth.
