BMWK works on electricity market reform • Table.Briefings

A capacity market for gas-fired power plants in the EU is one of the most important energy policy issues in the new European legislature.

In a twelve-page document, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action provides an outlook on the expected regulation of the next EU Commission for the electricity sector. In the area of capacity mechanisms, the BMWK wants to examine one solution in particular.

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs is expecting „further reforms to the European electricity market“ in the upcoming legislative period and is having its own proposal drawn up. The aim is „concrete implementation and reform proposals for the next Commission,“ according to a call for tenders for external consultants published by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action at the weekend.
