About

Energy markets are going through a very dynamic period, marked by a number of factors:


  • The globalization of the production and distribution chains;

  • Diversification
    of energy sources, with non-fossil and renewable energies increasingly
    taking centre stage, bolstered by technological innovation and
    environmentally responsible exploitation of natural resources;

  • Strict regulation of national, European and international sources.
