Public policies in Romania must be connected to the reality of the energy sector in developed countries, and with the new European environment protection directives.
“The authorities and experts must be connected at once with the European projects configuring the future of the energy in the next 30 years. This is the solution to stop being as we are today, faced with questions without answers, such as why the price of the carbon emission certificates reached such levels,” said Corneliu Bodea, chairman of the Romanian Energy Center, at the ZF Energie 2019 event.
Ziarul Financiar on Thursday organized its yearly ZF Energie (ZF Energy) event that brought together experts in the energy sector and some of the largest actors in the industry. The second part of talks focused on using smart solutions to generate and use energy.
Attending the event, Ana Ionascu, sales executive enterprise accounts with Microsoft Romania, provided several examples of software solutions for power companies, such as Estonia’s intelligent energy management system, which the country is now selling.
“I really think Romania’s future looks as we can see it abroad. I’d tell the companies in the energy sector to come to Microsoft or any other software provider for solutions. My second piece of advice would be to look towards customers more. We can talk about bots for instance. We’ve launched bots (virtual assistants i.e.) with several companies in Romania, solutions that respond to the customer abroad: what can be done in Romania, what the legislation is, the solutions they can choose. It’s a software investment that boots awareness among customers,” Ana Ionascu said at the event.
