Seminar “The Energy Mix – Between the desirable strategy and the possible strategy”
February
On February 21, 2019, the seminar “The Energy Mix between the Desirable Strategy and the Possible Strategy” was held at the Faculty of Economics of Porto. This seminar was part of an already vast series of national and international initiatives promoted by APEEN with a view to promoting collaboration between people and institutions interested in the Energy Economy area. The event was very successful, immediately sold out in terms of capacity, and also due to the interest and participation of the public in the debate.
The proposed theme could not be more current and urgent. The 2030 Investment Plan for the Energy area, which is part of the European decarbonisation strategy, involves several components whose coherence, feasibility and effectiveness require an informed and multifaceted debate since it involves, among others, the PT 2030 – National Strategy for Portugal Post 2020, the PNEC – Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan and others such as the PNPOT – National Program for Spatial Planning Policy and the RNC2050 – Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality 2050.

2017 Annual APEEN Conference
May
The 2017 Annual Conference of the Portuguese Association for Energy Economics was organized by APEEN and the Department of Economics at ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon.
The conference was divided into 4 sessions and a special session co-organized with the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation/PORDATA to present the development of energy and carbon indicators developed by the APEEN research team.
More information: http://apeen2017.iscte-iul.pt/index.html
New sub-topic in PORDATA for the responsibility of the work team of APEEN members
A new sub-theme in PORDATA, called Energy Economy, developed by a work team that involved APEEN associates, was presented at the 2017 APEEN Annual Conference, which took place at ISCTE, in Lisbon, on May 9, 2017.
The team responsible for proposing and preparing new indicators on Energy Economy was made up of APEEN associates Marta Ferreira Dias, Mara Madaleno, Margarita Robaina and Júlia Seixas.
Energy is one of the determining factors in the competitiveness of economic activities and the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions. In the last two decades, the need to evaluate the efficiency in the use of energy and alternative energy options with less impact on climate change has increased significantly.
Energy saving indicators are simple and effective instruments that show the evolution of economic activity sectors, in terms of energy use and generated emissions: for example, a decreasing evolution of energy and carbon intensity (less energy consumed or less emissions generated, per unit of value produced, respectively) means that it increases energy efficiency and the decarbonisation of economic activity.
On the contrary, a growing evolution of indicators over time points to the need to adopt more efficient and cleaner options with regard to energy use. Given that the consumption of electricity from a renewable source has been pointed out as one of the most cost-effective options to improve the efficiency and decarbonisation of economic activities, the indicator relating to electrical intensity is an instrument to be taken into account.
More information on the Energy Economy subtopic can be consulted on the PORDATA website.

Active Management of Energy Demand: Efficiency and Response – GAPEER'17
April
The demand for the growing integration of renewable sources in power generation systems, compliance with international agreements in the area of the environment and the guarantee of continuity of supply at affordable costs for the economy as a whole lead us to the need to think, consider and act on the side the active management of energy demand, both in terms of efficiency and demand response.
This was the main focus of the debate forum/conference at the University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, on the 20th and 21st of April 2017. Active Management of Energy Demand: Efficiency and Response – GAPEER’17.
