🎙 One grid to rule them all? The future of a European single electricity market In this episode of The Sound of economics, Rebecca Christie invites Georg Zachmann and Christian Pilgaard Zinglersen (EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)) to talk about the ambitious idea of creating a more integrated European electricity market. They discuss the drastic change in Europe’s energy outlook, as we switch from a world of fossil imports to mostly domestic electricity production. They address the benefits of a better-coordinated European energy system, as well as the need for improved communication between member states, harmonised market instruments, and joint investment in infrastructure to achieve greater efficiency and resilience. They lay out the complexity of this cross-sectoral challenge and stress that this needs strong political will and trust to move forward.

Recent developments in clean energy projects include a variety of initiatives and milestones. The Biden-Harris administration announced actions to promote clean energy development on public lands, aiming for a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035. Additionally, over $1.7 trillion is expected to be invested in clean energy technologies globally this year. These efforts highlight the growing emphasis on renewable energy sources and the transition towards cheap sometimes free energy everywhere. This includes energy independence for poor nations now dependent on oligarchally supplied energy. #energytransition #lessoillessmunitions #peaceandprosperity

In the latest issue of Electric Perspectives, EEI Chair and Edison International President and CEO Pedro Pizarro discusses his insights on policy priorities, security and resilience initiatives, and the path toward a clean energy future. "Our ultimate responsibility is to safely provide reliable and clean electricity for our customers at an affordable cost. That is what we must do—period," Pizarro said.
