EUROPEAN POWER & ENERGY


[From Page 32 ...] Off-shoots of the current action plan have included far-


reaching energy liberalisation proposals, the climate and energy package and the Strategic Energy Technology Plan [SET Plan - see Commodities Now, December 2009]. The “Europe 2020” strategy proposal, presented by the Commission in March 2010 incorporated the 2020 climate goals in its flagship initiative to promote a resource efficient Europe. In May EU ministers gave their first views on the upcoming EU


energy strategy for 2011-2020, agreeing that it should be ready for endorsement by EU leaders in March 2011. The Energy 2020 strategy lays down priorities in five broad


areas. It seeks to curb Europe’s energy consumption with financial incentives to renovate Europe’s energy-guzzling buildings and integrate the European energy market. The new energy strategy focuses on 5 priorities: 1. Achieving an energy efficient Europe; 2. Building a truly pan-European integrated energy market; 3. Empowering consumers and achieving the highest level of safety and security;


4. Extending Europe’s leadership in energy technology and innovation;


5. Strengthening the external dimension of the EU energy market.


The New Energy Strategy proposes to pursue an external EU energy policy, ensure Europe’s leadership on innovative energy

technologies and address consumer issues like making billing more transparent or making it easier to switch suppliers. “Over the next ten years, overall


energy infrastructure investments in the EU of €1 trillion are needed,” the Commission said in a statement. “By 2015 no Member State should be isolated.” The Commission also addressed


delays in strategic infrastructure projects by proposing simplified permitting processes and setting a time limit for EU funding decisions.

Oettinger said he was confident that EU governments would endorse the strategy in February at a special summit focused on energy. The Commission plans to propose concrete legislative initiatives in the next 18 months.
