Thermal Power Generation in 2030 – Added Value for EU Energy Policy
Speaker: Prof. Emmanouil Kakaras, President of the European Power Plant Suppliers Association (EPPSA)
Intervention by Klaus-Dieter Borchardt, Director for Internal Energy Market, DG ENERGY
The dinner-debate gave us an occasion to discuss the 2030 targets and the role of thermal power generation in achieving them. The EPPSA study on “Thermal Power in 2030” will be launched in January 2015 but some early observations are already available and were outlined during the debate, with a specific interest in the foreseen capacity investment requirements.
Mr Kakaras also gave a brief emphasis on the efficiency and emissions of thermal power plants before and after retrofitting or refurbishing.
