Giegold sees electricity market reform on the right track

Another meeting of EU energy ministers is no longer needed to reach an agreement on the electricity market reform, according to the German Ministry for Economic Affairs. „I’m not sure that would be helpful“, State Secretary Sven Giegold (Greens) told the informal council in Valladolid on Wednesday. „The Spanish Presidency has put forward a good proposal and I am optimistic that it can lead to a majority.“ Any outstanding issues could be resolved at the technical level, he said.
