Portfolio.hu Green Energy Investment Forum 2010

Portfolio.hu is to hold its green energy conference. This event, with a regional investment focus, will be a unique forum in Hungary. The European Union aims to raise the share of renewable energy in the overall energy consumption from 8.5% in 2005 to 20% by 2020. EU member states are requested to submit their respective strategies to the European Commission by the second half of 2010, presenting how they wish to meet the previously pledged renewable energy ratios. This opens a whole new chapter in the history of European green energy projects. Hungary and other CEE states will also need to come up with very specific plans, including green energy supporting schemes, if they want to achieve their targets set for 2020. In the energy sector this is considered a rather short time indeed.
