Electricity market trilogue progresses slowly

At the beginning of the trilogue on electricity market design, Parliament and Council initially presented their respective positions on Thursday. „The Council emphasized that its general orientation is sacrosanct, but that’s not the way forward, of course,“ said Green negotiator Michael Bloss. In addition to the well-known topics of coal power plants and difference contracts, there are also disputes regarding the protection of financially distressed electricity customers and the criteria for declaring an energy crisis. Further meetings are initially planned only at the technical level, Bloss said. The political trilogue scheduled for next Thursday has been canceled.
