energynomics.ro invites you to the 6th edition of the energynomics.ro Awards for the Romanian energy industry! The flagship event of energynomics.ro will reunite, on December 5 this year, over 200 high representatives of the most important and most dynamic companies in the Romanian energy industry. energynomics Awards is an original concept event and an unique opportunity to meet, discuss and have fun altogether with your peers – partners & competitors – in the energy field.

Once again in the sophisticated premises of the National Military Center, in Bucharest, we will point to the performers of the year. All the sectors – electricity, O&G, renewables, thermo, and mining, and all the themes – energy efficiency, smart energy, M&A, investments, will be revealed in the right light and in cold balance.

For several years, the local energy environment struggled to make better from more or less the same, with lagging legislation and depressed markets as crucial factors. 2018 is the year of significant new approaches from the Parliament (legislative updates), and regulators (preparing the next regulatory period). At the same time, technology bred disrupting trends, while also introduced powerful incentives for the companies and experts to entering new pathways, with updated business models and sometime with new management teams. Each month we are even closer to major decisions at the EU level in respect to energy industry, with new challenges and opportunities.

For this state of affairs, with its emotional rush – fear, and excitement as well, there is one word: vortex. This powerful descending spiral into unknown is brutal and dangerous. But it might be also a portal, at least for those managing to change for the better. Thus, the theme of the 2018 energynomics.ro Awards Gala is “VORTEX”.

The energynomics Awards enjoy the support and trust of the most reputed institutions and associations of local energy. The energynomics Awards project is mostly self-financed, proposed and organized by Wing Media Energy Consulting, through energynomics.ro and its partners: AON România, Electrica, Emerson Ridgid, Enel România, Hidroelectrica, MET România Energy, NIS Petrol, Nuclearelectrica, OMV Petrom, Petrotel LUKOIL, Romgaz.
