Partnership for Transatlantic Energy and Climate Cooperation

Please join the U.S. Department of Energy, Romanian Ministry of Energy, and the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center on Tuesday, July 23 at 9 am Bucharest time, 2 am EST for the fifth meeting of the Partnership for Transatlantic Energy and Climate Cooperation (P-TECC).

P-TECC is the pre-eminent vehicle for energy ministers and delegations from Eastern and Central Europe to address energy issues in Europe and forge cooperative paths towards a more diversified, clean, secure, and sustainable energy future for all. The Fifth Ministerial Meeting will focus on European energy security; industrial policy to advance clean energy from all sectors including renewables, hydrogen, and abated fossil energy; physical and cybersecurity of energy infrastructure; the advancement of geothermal energy as a largely untapped but potentially impactful solution for the region; and strategies to support the rebuilding of Ukraine’s energy sector.

This year’s meeting kicks off with a Business Forum and Alliance of Green Cities event on Tuesday, July 23. The Business Forum will provide an opportunity for CEOs and other high-level public and private industry leaders to discuss energy security, the energy transition, and infrastructure projects. The Alliance of Green Cities event will bring together regional and municipal political leaders with industry representatives to discuss how cities at the local level implement strategies to accelerate clean pathways and serve as laboratories for change at the national level. The Ministerial will take place Wednesday, July 24, and will focus on the important role of industrial policy in meeting our transatlantic energy security and climate goals. The Ministerial will also provide fora for discussion on fostering and enhancing solidarity among European countries and furthering coordination and cooperation on energy-related projects.
