Nordic Energy Research and the Nordic Council of Ministers\u2019 offices in Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania will host the Nordic-Baltic Energy Conference in Riga on 15 September 2026<\/strong>, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders and researchers to discuss energy security and the future of Nordic-Baltic cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference takes place in a year marking the 35th anniversary of the Nordic Council of Ministers\u2019 offices in the Baltic countries<\/strong>, highlighting the long-standing partnership between the Nordic and Baltic regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid growing geopolitical tensions and the recent synchronisation of Nordic-Baltic energy systems, strengthening regional energy cooperation has become increasingly important. Building resilient energy systems capable of withstanding crises, hybrid threats and disruptions is now a shared priority across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a joint statement, the organisers emphasise the importance of strengthening collaboration across the region regarding both energy securtity and climate goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe Nordic-Baltic Energy Conference connects government, industry and researchers on the topic of energy. By uniting key regional stakeholders to address shared challenges in civil energy security through a focus on clean energy technology and sustainable actions, the conference serves as a framework for strengthening cooperation in the Nordic-Baltic region on energy matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The statement is signed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus Skytte<\/strong>, CEO, Nordic Energy Research
Nina Hvid Enevoldsen<\/strong>, Director, Nordic Council of Ministers\u2019 Office in Latvia
Maria Gratschew<\/strong>, Director, Nordic Council of Ministers\u2019 Office in Estonia
Ole Andreas Lindeman<\/strong>, Director, Nordic Council of Ministers\u2019 Office in Lithuania<\/p>\n\n\n\n
