A conference co-organized by DIW Berlin, Vertretung in Deutschland, UiO Energy, IDDRI, Hertie School of Governance and Climate Strategies.
Speakers include Oliver Sartor at the “Renewable energy expansion and policy diffusion” session and Teresa Ribera at the round table “Building an energy union: from theory to practice”.
Conference overview:
In October 2014 the European Council agreed to create a “reliable and transparent governance system… to ensure that the EU meets its energy policy goals”. With the announcement of the Energy Union Package in February 2015, the Commission initiated a debate on how to make the European energy sector more secure, sustainable and competitive. This conference therefore invites academia and think tanks to prepare new analyses, as well as practitioners to discuss experiences that Europe and its Member States have gathered from cooperation and coordination mechanisms for energy policy. The objective is to gather the evidence base to inform the future development of EU energy policy and governance.
