The EU is currently facing an energy resilience and energy affordability crisis. Short-term solutions put forward by both EU institutions and Member States in the last months aimed at addressing these urgent challenges, but some emergency measures have undermined the cost-effective transition towards climate neutrality.
The revision of the Electricity Market Design (EMD) should address in a structural way the current energy resilience and energy affordability crises with a long-term horizon, while supporting – instead of undermining – the clean energy transition with end-users of all types in the lead (from households to energy intensive industries, acting individually or collectively).
