Financial investors are pushing for EU-wide harmonization of regulation in the energy industry. Harmonization is of fundamental importance in order to scale investments, said Craig Douglas, Partner at the Berlin-based venture capital investment company World Fund, at the EU Commission’s Investors Dialogue on Energy on Thursday. He cited the regulation of electricity grid fees as an example: „There is a nice summary of the grid fee system in Europe – it’s 700 pages long!“ The fees determine how interest is paid on the capital invested in the expansion of the infrastructure.
