Since the adoption of the “Clean Energy for All Europeans” (CEP) in July 2019 where a new market design and a new set of governance rules have been introduced, the National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) face numerous challenges in implementing the given framework. Under these circumstances, some open issues still have to be solved and common understandings and approaches still have to be developed. While several Member States have not yet fully transposed the legislative framework of the CEP into their respective national legislation, the European Commission, meanwhile, already published its further plans – the European Green Deal proposal including, inter alia, the TEN-E Regulation revision, the EU Climate pact & climate law, the Fit for 55-package as well as the expected Hydrogen and Gas Market Decarbonisation Package. Alongside these provisions, strategies have also been introduced such as the European Commission’s Strategy on Hydrogen or on Offshore renewable energy. These new developments bring not only new opportunities but also new regulatory challenges that make an adequate assessment and review necessary.
- Update on the European Green Deal today, its proposal and strategies including, inter alia, the TEN-E Regulation revision, EU Climate pact & climate law, Fit for 55-package,… and examination of the possible consequences for NRAs and their regulatory practice.
