Communication Activities

We monitor relevant European policy developments and legislation and collect information on initiatives and legislative proposals. Furthermore, we participate in associations and networks at European level (e.g. ENTSO-E), also as part of our legal mandate. To this purpose, Amprion organises information events (e.g. parliamentary breakfasts and webinars). In addition, we participate in conferences, webinars and discussion fora and present our positions and recommendations either by means of position papers, proposed amendments, bilateral meetings, studies and analyses (e.g. annual Amprion Market Report) or by contributing to consultations.
