The European Commission welcomed the adoption of important reforms of the electricity and gas market and the new regulatory framework to stimulate the development of hydrogen and other decarbonized gases, according to a statement from the Community Executive.... #cleanenergy #EuropeanCommission

ENTSOG, ENTSO-E and ENNOH board members gathered in Brussels for a joint meeting. The gathering allowed for timely exchanges on the possible cooperation areas for the European #infrastructures for #electricity, #hydrogen and #natural gas, based on their regulatory mandates and within EU climate and energy policies.    The discussion prioritised the respective contributions to the EU #competitiveness agenda.

📢Our last EEF #EnergyDebate in 2024 will be a discussion on the #energypriorities of the Polish Presidency of the EU Council! This event will provide a platform to discuss the key energy priorities for the EU as we look ahead to 2025. In collaboration with GAZ-SYSTEM and GIE, the debate will bring together policymakers and industry leaders for a valuable exchange of ideas on the challenges and opportunities facing the energy sector. We look forward to this valuable exchange! EEF Members, do not forget to register! ⬇️[Link in comment]⬇️ #EnergyDebate#enegypriorities#polishpresidency#EUCouncil

This week, I spoke to RT about the incoherence of the EU's current energy policy. I argued that, by increasing its reliance on LNG from the United States, the EU is undermining its economy, energy security and environment in one fell swoop. https://lnkd.in/e9dWw5mT

Balancing Services (aFRR) Belgium Unusual situation: regulatory decision by one Belgian (Flemish, VREG) energy regulatory authority challenged by another (federal, CREG) energy regulatory authority before the courts. See at https://lnkd.in/gG6RY-Qk Powerplay in action - let us assume that judicial authorities will be best placed to address and solve this difference in regulatory views.

#EU citizens are heading to the polls to elect their MEPs. In recent years, EU member states have witnessed a right-wing resurgence, with populist and nationalist parties gaining political influence in many countries, while six have hard-right parties in government. This shift to the right has been driven by the cost-of-living crisis and concerns over #Europe's industrial competitiveness, raising the question of how much the new parliament will try to influence energy policy and, to an extent, backtrack on #climate commitments.

This past week has been all about the European Union so here's something you might have missed to come out of Brussels. One of the last things the outgoing European Parliament did was adopt the first-ever EU regulation on methane emissions. The new regulation obliges the fossil gas, oil and coal industry in Europe to measure, monitor, report and verify their methane emissions, and to take action to reduce them. Drone-based methane detection helps companies to identify methane leaks much quicker and cover large areas at a lower cost. The SPH Engineering Laser Falcon methane detector kit can be helpful in identifying potential methane leaks which can then be examined and evaluated up close. As this is now law and not just a suggestion, I'm sure we will see more care towards CH4 emissions monitoring here in Europe.

❗ The EU needs an Action Plan on Energy Storage to clarify the regulatory tools available and address the remaining barriers to the widespread adoption of #energystorage across the EU. ❓ Do you agree? Then support our call for action: https://lnkd.in/eEdb9Yby
