w12_rtgreen.gif (162 bytes)integrated energy summit overview  
The Integrated Energy Summit will bring together the foremost industry and government leaders to establish policies and corporate strategies that will bring success in the increasingly complex and dynamic global energy industry.

The Summit convenes against a backdrop of:

  • Consolidation through mergers, acquisitions and alliances
  • Evolution of new models for energy markets and trading from rapid deregulation in the US
  • Continued uncertainty in key markets following the Asian currency crisis
  • Heightened risk sensitivity from lenders and investors

Despite these trends the worldwide opportunities and demand for new energy infrastructure and privatization of energy infrastructure is enormous:

  • Currently over 2300 greenfield power projects are under development; a further 600 under solicitation; 170 privatization requests are outstanding in 87 countries; moves to liberalize and unbundle generation, transmission and distribution are afoot worldwide; plus 60,000MW of divestiture has so far taken place in the US and that is just the beginning

Discussions at this highly interactive Summit will allow energy industry leaders to assess global opportunities and determine strategies that will lead to long-term growth and profitability.

By participating you will be able to:

  • Sharpen your competitive strategy for the US, Europe and emerging energy markets by comparing it with the industry's leaders
  • Profit by making the right choices for acquisitions, integrating assets, and leveraging core competencies
  • Optimize your energy trading strategy and skills to improve your global risk management
  • Improve the economic viability of your emerging markets projects by examining the failure factors in stalled energy projects and learning from their renegotiations
  • Increase multilateral and export credit agency support for your projects by assessing their latest policies and initiatives
  • Speed up closure of long-term finance for your projects by learning how to improve project finance structures and better mitigate currency and political risks
