1 1 EU Energy policy "Europadagarna 2020" Marten Westrup DG Energy, European Commission

2 EU energy policy is based on three objectives FULLY BALANCED INTEGRATED AND MUTUALLY REINFORCED Sustainable Development Competitiveness Security of supply Renewable energy Energy efficiency Nuclear Research and innovation Emission trading Internal Market Infrastructure Research and innovation International Dialogue European stock management (oil/gas) Refining capacity and energy storage Diversification Dedicated legal basis for energy in the Lisbon Treaty: Art. 194

3 Present framework for energy. Energy 2020 strategy » Considers all objectives of EU energy policy. Restates the 20 / 20 / 20 objectives » Renewable energy » GHG emissions » Energy savings. Energy Roadmap 2050

8 The next step for the EU is to define the 2030 framework for energy Source: European Commission The immediate priority is to implement the EU's 2020 Energy Strategy 20 percent reduction of GHG emissions 20 percent share of renewable energy 20 percent energy savings The next step is to define the EU's 2030 framework for energy: On the basis of the Energy Roadmap 2050 and the reactions to it Emphasis on all three objectives of EU energy policy Three no regrets options for the longer term strategy: Renewable Energy Infrastructure Energy Efficiency
