Kinstellar hosts Winter Package conference in Prague

June 2019 – The Czech energy sector community came together on Wednesday, 19 June 2019 to discuss some of the main pros and cons of recently adopted “EU Winter Package” energy legislation, including its impact on the energy market.

The conference, organised by our Prague office, examined a number of issues, such as the potential significance of the planned changes to the electricity industry and its customers, the role of new players in the market, the increased role of data and digitalisation in the energy business, the impact on environmental and climate change regulations, the changing landscape for regulators and regulation of the market, and, primarily, the practical impact of the new legislation on the day-to-day business of the various members of this industry.

More than sixty representatives spanning the Czech energy sector – coming from TSOs, DSOs, regulators, the ministry of trade and industry, the ministry of the environment, energy traders, banks and other branches of the industry – attended the event.

Speakers included Kamil Blažek (Prague-based corporate Partner who leads Kinstellar’s Czech Energy practice), Managing Associates Michal Forýtek and Zdeněk Kučera, and Associate Štěpánka Havlíková.
