Supporting Romanian Companies

Cooperating Partners

The challenge facing Europe’s electricity and other business sectors in the wake of the global economic and fi nancial crisis needs no introduction. But while there is no easy fi x or turning back to the way things were, the crisis should be seen as an opportunity

to boost the current framework for investments in generation, restructure grids, and create a smart, integrated and carbon-neutral energy economy.

Indeed, this is the electricity industry’s vision for 2050.

On 15 & 16 June 2009 in Bucharest, Romania, EURELECTRIC will spotlight the industry’s vision on how to develop carbon-neutral power generation, including the necessary electrical infrastructure to fully engage citizens in the energy and climate challenge. The multi-faceted role of renewables in the grid planning and investment process, in the functioning and integration of regional markets and in meeting climate targets will also be examined. In addition, a CEO panel will debate key supply security issues and power sector investment needs and technology availability. Electronic voting will enable prompt audience feedback on these major issues.

The conference will also focus strongly on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, with a number of companies exposing pioneering activities in this area. An EURELECTRIC award will be presented to a company or person whose contribution seeks to revolutionise the operations, processes, technologies or products of the electricity industry.

The EURELECTRIC convention is flanked by a number of side attractions and commences with a pre-conference tour on Sunday morning, 14 June to Peles Castle - considered by many as one of the most stunning castles in all of Europe, nestled in the picturesque town of Sinaia in southern Romania.

A welcome cocktail for all participants later on Sunday evening opens the conference at Stirbey Palace (Domeniul Stirbey), located in the heart of a natural park in Buftea, 20 km north-west of Bucharest.

On Monday 15 June, conference participants are invited to a gala dinner in the luxurious and monumental Palace of the Parliament (commonly known as Ceausescu Palace), second in size among government buildings only to the Pentagon.

Tours are also foreseen during the conference itself for accompanying persons, details of which can be found in the conference brochure.

I look forward to welcoming you in Bucharest for a successful conference and two days of interesting discussions and debate.

Lars G. JosefssonPresident of EURELECTRIC

Session IDecarbonising Power - Decarbonising Europe

To meet the 60-80% emissions reductions necessary to stabilise atmospheric CO

2

emissions at 440ppm, the OECD power sector would have to be virtually carbon free by 2050. EURELECTRIC’s Role of Electricity project showed that under the most favourable scenario for meeting a 50% reduction for the EU 27, the carbon intensity for the European power sector would reduce signifi cantly. The session will examine the opportunities and barriers to achieve a decarbonised power sector.

Session IIA Smart Electricity Infrastructure for the Future

The environmental targets of the EU cannot be achieved without changes in Europe’s electricity grid. The emergence of renewables, distributed generation and electric vehicles demand an infrastructure that actively integrates the actions of generators, consumers and parties that do both. This session should discuss benefi ts as well as technical and regulatory challenges of the future network and the smart grids concept in particular.

Session III

How can RES be integrated in the Market?

The prospects of developing large share of RES generation in the near future can be seen as an opportunity for electricity markets rather than a challenge. If properly organised, renewables can play a positive role in the functioning of electricity markets and their integration into regional markets.

Executive Forum

Supply Security and Power Sector Investment

Security of supply implies not only secure fuel supplies, but also adequate transmission and distribution infrastructure, as well as suffi cient and reliable generating plant. Clear strategies need to be in place to ensure that current problems in the capital and credit markets do not threaten the ability of utilities to deliver.

CCS Exhibition

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the theme of a special focus exhibition on the sidelines of EURELECTRIC’s annual conference this year. At this exhibition, several European power companies will present their CCS projects and make a presentation on their vision of what role CCS can play in Europe and beyond. Confi rmed participants include:

In the past few years CCS has become a mainstream policy issue, as the technology is no longer regarded as a pipe-dream, but as a serious option for large-scale CO

2 abatement

world-wide.

CCS holds great promise for large combustion installations, such as power plants, to be able to continue to use fossil fuels while dramatically reducing their CO

2 emissions into

the atmosphere. The fl ipside of the coin is the decrease in plant effi ciency, which will have to be countered by further technological development.

Most of the technologies used for capturing, transporting and storing of CO

2 are already well known, but have not been proven

in practice on large scale. Also, the costs are still prohibitively high for CCS plants to survive under the current CO

2 price levels.

Therefore, a large-scale demonstration programme must be established, with adequate funding, to prove the technologies in large scale and to help bring down their cost.

The principle of Capture and underground Storage of CO2

CCS is a series of technologies enabling the capture of CO2

from fossil fuel fi red power stations and other industrial installations, its transport and its safe storage underground.

“Europe’s electricity sector is working towards a low-carbon future – but it needs clear policies, fl exibility in the power sources it can use, and support for CCS”

Lars G. JosefssonPresident of EURELECTRIC

President & CEO of Vattenfall

EURELECTRIC Award 2009

Any solution that can reduce emissions from coal use — without eliminating coal as an energy source — merits serious consideration. EURELECTRIC has therefore chosen carbon capture and storage (CCS) as the theme for this year’s “EURELECTRIC Award”.

Inaugurated at the 2008 Annual Convention in Barcelona, this prestigious award is aimed at honouring a company or person who has made a pioneering contribution towards revolutionizing the operations, processes, technologies or products of the electricity industry.

CCS offers a massive opportunity to revolutionise the power industry by drastically reducing emissions from power stations by 80% to 90%. A signifi cant amount of work and pilot projects are currently underway to develop and improve the technology, legal framework, and policies required for wide-scale deployment of CCS systems.

The 2009 EURELECTRIC award will be presented by former EURELECTRIC Secretary General Paul Bulteel, in his capacity as “European Electricity Ambassador” for EURELECTRIC.

EURELECTRIC extends its sincere thanks to IRE, the Romanian Electricity Association, for hosting the Annual Convention and Conference.

And to Accenture for sponsoring the event.

Welcome Cocktail in the “Domeniul Stirbey”

On Sunday, 14 June at 20.00, Electrica and Hidroelectrica invites all delegates to a Welcome Cocktail that will convene in the Stirbey Palace (Domeniul Stirbey). The Palace is located in the centre of a

natural park in Buftea, just 20 km north west of Bucharest. It was built between 1855 and 1864 by Barbu Stirbey, Prince of Wallachia for his son Alexandru. Short visits of the mansion will be possible during the Cocktail.

Offi cial Dinner at the Parliament Palace

On Monday, 15 June 2008 at 20.00., Transelectrica and N u c l e a re l e c t r i c a invites participants and accompanying persons to the offi cial dinner at the Parliament Palace.

The Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest is a multi-purpose building containing both chambers of the Romanian Parliament. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Palace is the world’s largest civilian administrative building (The Pentagon is the largest overall).

The Palace was designed and nearly completed by the Ceauşescu regime as the seat of political and administrative power. Nicolae Ceauşescu named it the House of the Republic (Casa Republicii), but many Romanians call it the People’s House (Casa Poporului). The structure combines elements and motifs from multiple sources, in an eclectic neoclassical architectural style. The building is constructed entirely of materials of Romanian origin.

Built on the site of a hill variously known as Spirii Hill, Uranus Hill, or Arsenal Hill, which was largely raised for this megaproject, the building anchors the west end of Unirii Boulevard and Centrul Civic. Constructing the Palace and Centrul Civic required demolishing much of Bucharest’s historic district, including 19 Orthodox Christian churches,

22

six Jewish synagogues, three Protestant churches (plus eight relocated churches), and 30,000 residences. At the time of Nicolae Ceauşescu’s 1989 overthrow and execution, the building’s structure and design were complete. Subsequently, many of the furnishings were never installed, and the last three basement levels and a large clock tower (that would have displayed the offi cial Romanian time) were never fi nished. During the change in regime, the new leaders of Romania referred to the building as the House of Ceauşescu, to highlight the excessive luxury in which Ceauşescu would have lived, in stark contrast to the squalor and poverty endured by many people living in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Parts of the building (some of the west wing, some of the east wing, parts of the second fl oor, basement 3 and everything below) have yet to be completed.

Accompanying Persons Tour (In English)Visit to Urlati and Jercalai Urlati is less than one hour from Bucharest. Here we will visit the Bellu Mansion, a monument of architecture, built in the old Romanian architectural style. By the middle of the 19th century, it was the home of the Baron Alexandru Bellu family. In 1926 the Bellu family donated to the Romanian Academy the whole complex of buildings at Urlaţi. In 1953 the complex was opened as a museum. The Bellu collection includes the pictures: “Portrait of Man” by Pavel Dincovici, “Peasant Woman” by Eugen Maximovici, “Old Beggar” by Theodor Aman, icons, chandeliers, candlesticks, Japanese prints and Oriental pieces, as well as valuable lithographs by Carol Popp of Szathmáry from the middle of the 19th century. Most remarkable are some of the architectural elements such as: columns and capitals, door frames and windows carved in stone from the 17th and 18th century.

Our trip to Urlati will be concluded by a wine tasting at the Winery “Conacul dintre VII” followed by lunch. After lunch, we will continue our trip to Jercalai to visit the Saint Mary Hermitage. the Saint Mary Hermitage is made out of wood and looks somewhat like a sailing ship. Originally built near Reghin in 1731 and requisitioned by the Royal family for Castle Bran in 1932, the little church never attained its sacred role there, instead Queen Mary replaced it with another Royal chapel. Because of this, in the spring of 1956 the church was disassembled and transported to Cricov on the same hallowed ground with the ruins of the old stone church which had been built there 400 years previously.

Departures will be from each of the hotels at 09.00

Pre Conference ProgrammeDiscovering SinaiaSunday 15 June (08.30 – 17.30)Located in Sinaia (44 km from Brasov), Peles Castle is considered by many one of the most beautiful castles in all Europe. It was the fi nal resting place for several Romanian monarchs including King Carol I, who died here in 1914. The construction of the castle began in 1873 under the direct order of the Viennese architect Wilhem Doderer and was continued in 1876 by his assistant, Johann Schultz de Lemberg. During 1877-1879 because of the war work was abandoned. It is for this reason that the castle was inaugurated only on October 7, 1883. The location of the castle was chosen by the German prince Carol I de Hohenzollern, who was to become king and it draws its name from the neighboring brooks which pass through the courtyard. Several other buildings, annexed to the castle, were built simultaneously: The Guard’s Chambers, The Economat Building, The Foisor Hunting House, The Royal Stables, and the Electrical Power Plant. The Sipot Villa was constructed later. This would serve as the work site of

23

architect Karel Liman. Liman would later supervise the building of Pelisor (1889-1903, the future residence of King Ferdinand and Queen Mary of Romania). as well as of the King’s Ferdinand Vila in the Royal Sheepfold Meadow. The castle was built in wood, stone, bricks and marble and comprises more than 160 rooms. The representative style used is German Renaissance, but one can easily discover elements belonging to the Italian Renaissance, Gothic, German Baroque and French Rococo style. Peles is surrounded by seven terraces decorated with statues (sculptured by the Italian, Romanelli), stone-made-wells, ornamental vases and Carara marble. The architects used an abundance of wooden decoration, both for the exterior and for the interior of the castle, which confers a very special quality to the building. Almost adjacent to Peles Castle is Pelisor (“Little Peles”). King Ferdinand, who succeeded Carol I, intended to use Peles Castle as a summer residence. Supposedly he found Peles too big and overwhelming, so he commissioned the smaller, art-nouveau style, Pelisor Castle. Pelisor’s 70 rooms feature a unique collection of turn-of-the century Viennese furniture and Tiffany and Lalique glassware. Near Peles castle there is Foisor, a kings’ residence with 42 rooms which were designed in Swiss style.

After the visit of the Castle you will have a buffet lunch in a local restaurant where you will enjoy some traditional Romanian dishes. Departures from each of the hotels at 08.30Price per person: €74 (incl. 19% VAT)Minimum 30 participants required
