power system under different climate policies

Jonas Egerer (DIW Berlin) – The European energy
system
•
Karl Johnny Hersvik (Statoil) – Natural Gas, a key in
Europe’s Energy Future
•
Rune Volla (Research Council) – Norwegian energy

The session was finalized with a conversation between
Ola Borten Moe, Connie Hedegaard and Asgeir Tomas-
gard.
After the presentations the forum met in an informal
panel debate at Lerkendal Gård addressing the top-
ics presented during the day. There were participants
from Statkraft, Statnett, NTNU, SINTEF, NHH, Statoil and
Enova. The plan is to arrange similar meetings as new
