EESC and the Energy Union:
The EESC as a „bridge between organised civil
society and EU institutions”, in relation to the Energy Union,
EESC is trying to facilitate public participation in the EU energy
policy field, in the form of a „European Energy Dialogue”.
„The underlying realisation is that a robust EU energy policy, especially
the transition to a low-carbon energy system, requires the
understanding, support and active participation of European citizens, as
much will depend on them and the choices ahead need to be endorsed
by the people.”

EEA Report „Transforming the EU power sector: avoiding a carbon lock in
Main findings:
• Much of the EU’s coal-based power capacity is near the end of its lifetime.
• One quarter of the new fossil fuel capacity in Europe could potentially come from coal.
• At present, operators tend to extend the lifetime of their fossil fuel capacity. If sustained, this would clash with the EU’s decarbonisation efforts.
• Modernising power plants to comply with the EU legislation on air pollutants would marginally affect the overall fossil fuel capacity, but would slightly increase the excess solid fuel-fired capacity.
• Central and eastern Europe and south and south-eastern Europe are at a lower risk of solid fuel-fired capacity lock-in.

EEA Report „Transforming the EU power sector:
avoiding a carbon lock in
Policy consideration:
√ A pan-European approach can provide least-cost opportunities for decarbonising the power sector.
√ Regular sharing of information regarding the evolution of fossil fuel capacity over the short- and medium-term can improve the consistency of decarbonisation efforts.
√ Increased alignment of energy, climate and environmental policies can speed up the transition to a secure and sustainable EU power sector

The EU Energy Union
- “The year of 2016 will be the year of delivery of the EU
Energy Union.”
- Goal: “a resilient Energy Union with an ambitious climate policy at its core is to give EU consumers - households and businesses - secure, sustainable, competitive and affordable energy. Achieving this goal will require a fundamental transformation of Europe's energy system.”
- Ambition: “to make the EU the world number one in renewable energies”

The EU Energy Union
"citizens should be at its core, where they take ownership of the energy transition, benefit from
new technologies to reduce their bills, participate actively in the market, and where vulnerable
consumers are protected.”*

COST OF CAPITAL FOR INVESTMENT IN RENEWABLES*:
- Greece 12%
- Spain 10%
- France and Austria 6%
- Germany 4%
RESULT: „wind power costs twice as much in Croatia and Greece as it does in Germany for same meteorological and technical conditions!”*

EU NEW DEAL FOR ENERGY
- ENSURE BENEFITS OF ENERGY TRANSITION TO THE
LOCAL COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALLY IN „EU PERIPHERY”:
EAST AND SOUTH!
- EU-WIDE SUPPORT TO THE COMMUNITY ENERGY:
- Access to cheap capital throughout the EU
- Funding schemes for small and medium-sized RE&EE projects
- Minimize administrative and financial obstacles
- Dedicated prosumer rights framework to promote active participation by consumers in the energy market

The role of civil society:
- advocacy
- education and inspiration
- “bundling” community power projects
- connecting the EU and local level
- assistance to local communities currentlly
dependent on carbon intensive jobs
