Energy Training
Shaping the post-2020 EU energy policy; Berlin or Brussels?, 13 November 2012
European energy policy of the last two decades has seen many discussions and policy documents on the classic energy policy triangle: security, sustainability and affordability of energy supplies. From the 1990s onwards, tangible and binding policies have primarily been formed in the field of market design, with the intended result of creating one single European gas and electricity market. EU energy and climate policies also started to take shape from the 1990s onwards culminating to the ambitious 20-20-20 climate goals aiming to be met by 2020 and the EU roadmap 2050. Meanwhile, a coherent external policy that tackles security of supply problems clearly appears to be lacking.
The EU intends to “fully balance” these three energy policy objectives. It is questionable whether it is able to do so. On the sustainable energy front, the EU faces a complex set of interrelated problems related not only to the costs of the EU’s fuel mix but also to discrepancies between member states as far as the fuel mix and infrastructure are concerned. The privatisation and financing of this green agenda also come into play as considerable challenges. On the market integration front, new regulations on the internal market could affect the relation with outside suppliers, hence the security of long-term energy supplies
Aims
This energy training aims to shed light on some of these issues. This particular training aims to turn attention to the internal EU dimensions of the sustainable energy agenda in relation to wider energy mix implications. The goal of the training is to acquire a deeper understanding of synergies and possible conflicts between EU energy policy targets. Also, participants will learn about possible future scenario’s for the EU and the way they influence the realisation of energy policy targets, gain further insights into the complexities involved with respect to external EU energy policies and discuss internal and external EU energy policies throughout the training.
Content
The course is characterised by an integrated approach to energy training - combining attention for the notion of security of energy supply, market and price developments and the environment - and offers lectures on trends and developments in the EU power and gas sectors, the regulation of networks, power investments in a liberalised market and changing circumstances in world energy markets and the relevance for EU market policies.
Organisation
The Clingendael International Energy Programme co-operates with representatives of governments, the industry and non-governmental (research) institutes. This co-operation leads to a balanced programme, offering insights into the strategies of the most important relevant actors in the energy sector.
Duration/Date
This one day course is held at the Clingendael Institute on 13 November 2012. Enrolment is possible for this course or in combination with other CIEP training courses. On 29 May, 2012 CIEP will hold another training on the geopolitics of energy (see Geopolitical trends in international energy markets: wrestling among giants). (see Geopolitical trends in international energy markets: wrestling among giants).
Participants
This one day course is developed for participants working in the energy sector or related professions.
Costs
The costs of the course are € 495, including refreshments, lunch and learning materials. A discount is given to participants enrolling in more than one CIEP training course and to participants from CIEP partners.
