EU Energy Policy: Liberalization, Sustainability and Security as Competing Agendas
Datamonitor, Nov 2008, Pages: 42
European energy policy currently stands at a crossroads between further liberalisation or protectionist trends as the European Council and Parliament debate the Third Package on electricity and gas markets. At the core of this impasse also sit concerns around security of supply and environmental targets, with the EU still struggling to square the circle between these competing concerns.
Scope
- Awareness of EU institutions, decision making processes and potential policy outcomes on security of supply, sustainability and liberalisation.
- Detailed discussion of the Third Package in relation to institutional and Member State positions and potential outcomes.
- Strategic analysis of EU difficulties on providing for security of supply alongside environmental commitments to 2020 and likely outcomes.
- Critical scenarios and timelines for EU policy outcomes on market liberalisation, security of supply and environmental considerations.
Highlights of this title
The liberalisation agenda has temporarily stalled. This has been accentuated by the credit crisis but resistance was already strong before 2007.
The competing policy agendas of security of supply and carbon reduction measures still remain largely irreconcilable for the EU, particularly as the overall effect of EU ETS is likely to increase European dependence on external gas supplies.
A number of policy outcomes still remain possible; our scenarios suggest that the liberalisation agenda will remain stalled on an EU wide basis but may make progress on a state by state basis, and that competing institutions in Europe will continue to conflict on security of supply and emission reduction targets.
Key reasons to purchase this title
- Understand how EU institutions and Member States work when devising energy policy and key positions taken on strategic concerns.
- Gain critical insight into competing EU policy agendas of security of supply, climate change and market liberalisation across Europe.
- Predict opportunities through different scenarios for the European energy outlook over the next five years to tailor strategies accordingly.
