Project description
A closer look at the impact of the EU energy union
Secure, affordable and clean energy for EU citizens and businesses is the goal of the EU’s energy union. Since its launch in 2015, the union has strived to diversify energy sources and improve energy efficiency. The EU-funded WEO project will quantitatively analyse the impact of the EU energy union and highlight lessons learned for other parts of the world. The analysis will be carried out by the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook team. The goal is to deepen understanding and stimulate policy discussion at both the EU level and in the Member States. The project will focus on the energy-climate nexus with more secure, affordable, competitive and sustainable energy in a coordinated and integrated way.
Objective
The objective of this project is to analyse quantitatively the impact of the European Union’s (EU) Energy Union and derive lessons for other parts of the world. The analysis will be carried out by the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) World Energy Outlook (WEO) team. A key channel of dissemination for this project will be the inclusion of the analysis of the EU’s Energy Union in relevant sections of the 2018 edition of the IEA’s flagship WEO publication, which will be launched in November 2018.
The intended outcome is to increase understanding and raise awareness about the implications the EU’s Energy Union can have on key energy sector indicators, in particular in relation to the Energy Union’s five fundamental dimensions: security, solidarity and trust; a fully integrated internal energy market; energy efficiency and moderation of demand; decarbonisation of economy; research, innovation and competitiveness. The insights from the proposed analysis are intended to stimulate policy discussion at both the EU level and in Member States themselves, but are also expected to contribute to the international energy and climate change debate.
Addressing the energy-climate nexus with more secure, affordable, competitive and sustainable energy, in a coordinated and integrated way, is at the heart of both the IEA’s WEO series and the EU’s Energy Union. The IEA is particularly well placed to address this topic in the WEO considering the publication is renowned globally for its capacity and aptitude in regards to in-depth scenario based modelling of energy and climate change, including detailed analysis of the European Union energy market.
