Jean Arnold Vinois, advisor on European Energy Policy at the Jacques Delors Institute, considers the potential impact of Brexit on the energy sector, especially given the prominent role the UK has played in shaping energy policies in several key areas. How will the new balance of power affect future policy objectives?

Liliana Eskenazi of Allen & Overy LLP, Paris, discusses regulated gas prices with reference to the opinion of Advocate General Paolo Mengozzi (CJEU) in case C-121/15 ANODE on the regulated gas price mechanism in France, which marked a significant precedent for national regulation of prices. The case addresses two delicate and seemingly conflicting issues; the opening of national markets to comply with Directive 2009/73/EC to achieve an internal gas market in the EU and the requirements of public service in the general economic interest which allows Member States to intervene to fix prices.

Listen to the summary of Anna Marhold's thesis "Energy in International Trade Law from GATT to TTIP. Regulation and Challenges"

This thesis takes a dynamic approach to the treatment of energy in international trade law. It traces the development of energy rules from the inception of the 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) to Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)negotiations today.

It considers policy options for enhanced energy governance and discusses possible future scenarios and the role of the WTO and Energy Charter Treaty.

Jean-Michel Glachant demands a response to the lack of responsive demand

Recorded 14 June 2016 at the Meeting of the European Electricity Regulatory Forum, Florence, Italy

Jean-Michel Glachant has predicted “a light headache” for all those involved in the process of encouraging responsive distribution networks in the context of renewable energy investment. Reporting on our new podcast format, Glachant described the nature of the discussion at the Florence Forum on European electricity regulation.

“The European Commission and the main stakeholders in European energy are meeting to discuss new rules, new topics and new frontiers in the building of the European power market”, noted Jean-Michel. “One of the key issues was retail markets, but you will say ‘they‘ve existed since 2002.’ Yes and no, because with this massive entry of renewables, it could be good to have more responsive demand.”

“We will also need responsive distribution networks” – remarked Glachant – “they have to play a big role in the building of a new retail market, but they’re monopolies.”

“I can guarantee that most of us, by the end of these two days will have a light headache, not because it’s not interesting, but because it’s really demanding and I guess it’s the same for you.”
