| Abstract |
The purpose of this paper is to present some of the new European strategies for energy in the context of the Energy 2020 vision for competitive, sustainable and secure energy. Energy strategy is a semantic construct that integrates strategic thinking with the development of the energy sector within a given country, region, or continent. Strategic thinking has been based decades ago, especially in the energy sector on deterministic and linear models which yield good results in economies with a predictable development. Due to political changes in the Eastern European countries and significant changes of their economic development, as well as increasing the globalization process, the economic business environment became very dynamic and highly unpredictable. In this context strategic thinking should change to new probabilistic and nonlinear thinking models. Also, building up new strategies for Europe means to consider the global environment of energy sources dynamics and the restrictions imposed by the natural environment protection. The paper presents in the first part the paradigm shift in strategic thinking and strategies elaboration, and in the second part the strategies proposed by the European Commission for the energy sector up to 2020. The main finds show a change in the strategies structure, and ways to implement in Europe a new vision for the energy transport systems based on a centralization philosophy. |
