Chief Energy Expert
Changes in the energy mix, decarbonisation, renewable energy sources, sovereignty and security, decarbonisation of the economy – these are topics that are prominent in the public debate. Their urgency is also reflected in legislation.
There is no doubt that energy is one of the priority strands of public policy today. That is why we are responding to this by establishing the ZPP Energy and Climate Forum. This is a platform on which we want to concentrate all our activities in the field of energy.
As part of the Forum’s activities, we intend to publish expert documents and regulatory opinions and organise events at the level of Poland and the European Union as well as carry out projects and information campaigns.
The aim of the Forum is to work out – in cooperation with key stakeholders and experts – the most optimal solutions for a broadly understood energy policy, with particular emphasis on energy security and taking care of the competitiveness of the Polish economy.
The Director of the ZPP Energy and Climate Forum is Dominika Taranko, d.taranko@zpp.net.pl.
