A New EU Framework for a Well-Functioning and Low-Carbon Electricity System
Practical information
After years of debates around the structural failures of the EU electricity markets, time has come to agree on potential remedies. With the adoption of the Clean Energy Package, a new legislative framework will govern electricity exchanges for the next decade. In parallel, the EU is about to upgrade its vision for a fully decarbonised economy by 2050, and Member States are also adjusting their energy transition policies to grasp the full potential of technological innovation, while preserving social acceptability and economic competitiveness.

Can the EU electricity market trigger a rapid coal phase out and deliver the right investment signals?
-
How to promote the massive integration of renewables while maintaining system stability?
-
How to strike the right balance between EU harmonization and the creation of an innovation-friendly environment?
Ifri’s Centre for Energy is gathering key public and private decision-makers, stakeholders and experts of the EU electricity system to openly discuss these questions.
