Had a really great interview a few weeks ago during the World Utilities Congress, in Abu Dhabi, with Nour Eltigani for Energy Connects. We discussed at length the role of #energyefficiency in the energy transition, as well as the full potential unlocked by #digitalization.

Excited about the opening of the Atlantic Council Romania Office, officially launched today in #Bucharest. The new office will operate under the Global Energy Center & focus on the region’s #energysecurity challenges & priorities. Congratulations and best of luck ahead, Alex Serban!

The EU’s recently released Black Sea strategy will thrive only with robust transatlantic collaboration, writes Global Energy Center’s Andrei Covatariu. This relationship, he argues, will be crucial to stabilizing the region’s role in European energy security. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/energyso…

Had a great two-part conversation a few days ago with Divya Gopalan for TaiwanPlus' CONNECTED, alongside Tsaiying Lu (DSET). Thanks so much for the invitation, Khloe Kai Hui Wong! In this part, I discussed the #EU’s lessons on #energysecurity, adaptation & diversification plans

In the seconnd part of my conversation with Divya Gopalan for TaiwanPlus News' CONNECTED, alongside Tsaiying Lu (DSET), we delved into more detail about the new layers of the #energysecurity concept, the race to #AI-driven data centers & the impact on power grids/generation.

In my latest piece for Atlantic Council | Global Energy Center, I discuss a topic I’ve been following for a while — the pressing impact of #cooling needs on Europe’s #energysecurity and its transition goals. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/energyso… #energytransition #heatwaves

“A Europe that fails to prepare for extreme heat will find itself in crisis after crisis.” Global Energy Center’s Andrei Covatariu explains why Europe needs a coordinated cooling strategy: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/energyso…
