Details

This timely book shows how the creation of a European Energy Union might be an effective and viable solution to the energy security problems that the European Union (EU) is facing.

The aim is to make it easier to trade energy inside the EU. The EU currently has to rely on energy-rich countries for its energy needs, many of whom are politically and economically unstable. This places the EU in a vulnerable position.

The book explores the institutional and legal framework for the creation of a European Energy Union, whose aim is to achieve a ordable, secure and sustainable energy. This Energy Union is based on ve pillars, which are analyzed:

security, solidarity and trust;
the completion of a competitive internal market;
moderation of demand;
the decarbonization of the EU energy mix (i.e., greater use of renewable energy);
technologies.
