Energy Traders Europe

Access to affordable energy is “a cornerstone of the Clean Industrial Deal”, and the European Commission has adopted an Action Plan for Affordable Energy today.   🛣️ The Action Plan rightly states that EU energy policy is at a crossroads. Unlocking the full potential of our #EnergyUnion requires bravery, leadership and action. 🔓   2040 is only 15 years away. The decisions we take now will have a huge impact on industrial #competitiveness, on the amount that #customers pay and on whether we meet the 90% greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.   We need to prioritise the areas which can bring the greatest benefits. The proposed reviews of the #gasmarket and financial regulation must avoid making the best the enemy of the good.    Energy Traders Europe calls on the Commission to prioritise deeper integration of #gas and #power markets, and the creation of European markets for green gases and #hydrogen as the best way of reducing #energyprices.   #UnitedForOurFuture #CleanIndustriaIdeal #AffordableEnergy

Europe is now better prepared for potential #gas supply interruptions than it was in 2022, when crisis measures on gas #security were introduced. New #LNG import capacity has come on-line, transport routes to move gas around Europe have improved, and more #renewable #electricity is in place. ⚠️ Therefore, Energy Traders Europe warns that storage filling obligations should not be extended. Imposing obligations on storage filling may result in an expensive form of insurance and such obligations should terminate at the end of this year. Energy Traders Europe encourages authorities to allow for more dynamic, market-responsive measures to improve #securityofsupply, starting from 2026. 📄 Read our position in full 👉 https://lnkd.in/eBUszpJ4 #EnergyMarkets #GasMarkets #EnergyTrading
