🟢 Save the date! Webinar on 3/12, 14:00 CET "What to do to speed up offshore energy? EU-UK views on improving our energy networks" 📆 calendar.boell.de/en/speed-up-of… @BoellStiftung @JMuehlenhoff @rosamundmtaylor @skillingssa #Renewables #PCIs #PCIDaysEU #EnergyInfrastructure #CEFEnergy #ConnectingEurope #REPowerEU

We need to talk more about the transition away from fossil gas in the EU. A long term planned approach is in the interests of everyone. See our latest report: e3g.org/publications/g… @R_Hanoteaux

The electricity market reform process has become stuck in a rut. It needs to be refocused on delivering a smart decentralised energy system and aligned with the work of @ELEXONUK to facilitate development of local flexibility markets. See my blog: e3g.org/news/electrici…

NEW REPORT 📢Cheap, clean electricity for Great Britain by 2030 With all 👀 on how Labour will deliver the Clean Power Mission, I'm excited to launch @E3G's new policy framework with @SusannaElks & @skillingssa e3g.org/publications/c…

Robust governance of power system decarbonisation is essential to ensure the process is timely, cost-effective & well-managed. @E3G's @skillingssa sets out what's needed to combine the urgency of delivery with rapid learning & policy adaptation. knowledge.energyinst.org/new-energy-wor…

So far, no G7 country has produced a strategic plan for achieving a #NetZero power sector by 2035, highlighted by the #G7 as a climate and an energy security objective. How can the 🇬🇧UK and 🇪🇺EU show leadership? @skillingssa @FactFisching @Vili_Ivanova1 e3g.org/publications/p…

The UK🇬🇧 & EU🇪🇺 can show leadership in the #G7 on delivering a #NetZero power sector at pace, with low cost and high reliability. New E3G briefing details how legislation, policies and processes can form an effective power sector 💡 #decarbonisation plan: e3g.org/publications/p…

We aren’t going to decarbonise European power systems in just over a decade with a scattergun of policy measures. We need coherent delivery plans that deliver the overall system change required. See what’s involved in our latest report. e3g.org/publications/p…

How to make electricity market reform a journey rather than a destination. And what does this mean for marginal and locational pricing? See E3G REMA consultation response 👇 e3g.org/publications/r…

Sharing some thoughts at the Current± Briefing on The Energy Price Guarantee. We’ve responded to the energy cost emergency but now need a positive vision for how energy markets can make people’s lives better. m.youtube.com/watch?v=KHG_Ri…

Next Thursday, we're hosting a special edition of Current± Briefings on the Energy Price Guarantee. Join me, @robertbCornwall from @CornwallInsight, @Regen_insight, @skillingssa from @e3g and @StuDossett from @GreenAllianceUK to discuss the cap freeze! bit.ly/3DuXL2c

Electricity market reform is a journey not a destination. REMA must not get bogged down in a beauty contest of mechanisms. The focus should be on a process that meets evolving consumer needs. See my blog in ⁦@UtilityWeek⁩ utilityweek.co.uk/electricity-ma…

Digital innovation will be essential if we are to decarbonise the power system in line with government targets. ⁦@pcbrock⁩ and I set out the actions that need to be taken. 👇 e3g.org/publications/d…

Electricity market design is again a hot topic. This briefing sets out how we can reconcile current concerns about prices with the goal of decarbonisation. It also explains the importance of digitalisation ⁦@aspatuleia⁩ ⁦@Vili_Ivanova1⁩ e3g.org/publications/e…
