markets (members of the Energy Community) to
competition;

Eastern Europe or in neighbouring regions;
• a need for renewal of ageing energy generation and
transport assets;
• the regional and pan-European integration of power
markets.
On the example of power storage, the workshop would contribute to

RES-E support policy, RES-E market integration, and efficient
market liberalisation and cross border aspects.
