Building namely on a policy proposal made by the Jacques Delors Institute, the European Commission tabled its ‘Energy Union Strategy’ on February 25th 2015.
Taking stock of the outcome of COP21 and recent evolutions of the European energy policy, this conference aims at focusing on two critical elements for the future of the Energy Union. First, the Energy Union’s paradigm shift: a shift from supply to demand, putting the consumer at the centre of the stage. Second, the role innovation has to foster a profitable and social energy transition.
An ambitious Energy Union might well re-launch the European integration process, like the Single Market did in the 1980s. Perhaps more importantly, the Energy Union can enable Member States to achieve their own energy transition in a more cost-effective way, in order to provide European citizens and businesses with sustainable, secure and competitive energy.
