EU’s energy sovereignty is built on a robust internal market

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 16:00:27 GMT

Leonhard Birnbaum, via EurelectricThe energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the weaponization of energy have put European values and unity to the test like rarely before. Faced with soaring gas and electricity prices last year, EU policymakers decided to initiate a reform of the internal market for electricity. It is a genuine political dilemma.

The European Coal and Steel Community was founded on the belief that shared energy resources would make conflict between member countries “not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible”. When closed national systems were opened to competition, European consumers started reaping the benefits of growing innovatio...

The senior official was granted anonymity to speak freely about internal decision-making. Fiona Scott Morton’s name merely appeared as new chief economist for the Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition on a list of internal job moves circulated at a meeting of the heads of commissioners’ cabinets before the commissioners met in Strasbourg — their last full meeting before the summer break, according to the senior official.In counterpoint, ano...
