Completing the Internal Energy Market
Dr. Oliver Koch gave a presentation on energy policy and the internal energy market in the European Union. He discussed two major trends: the increasing Europeanization of energy markets and the rise of intermittent renewable energy sources. This presents challenges for ensuring generation adequacy and avoiding market distortions. Koch argued that pursuing further integration of the EU energy market is essential for security of supply, infrastructure planning, and lowering energy prices through competition. National policies need to be coordinated to avoid problems like loop flows that fragment the single market.
