Capacity Mechanisms in the EU Energy Market
Ensuring an adequate, long-term energy supply is a paramount concern in Europe. The security of a country's energy supply must be guaranteed, and within the EU individual member states are acting in order to safe-guard future energy production. Governments now intervene by encouraging investment in generation capacity, offering an additional revenue stream for conventional power plants in addition to the existing, heavily subsidized investments in renewable energy sources. These capacity remuneration mechanisms (or simply capacity mechanisms) have become a hot topic in the wider European regulatory debate. European electricity markets are increasingly interconnected, so the introduction of a...

This radicalisation can be seen in the overall political project of total domination implemented in the 2010s, which no longer sought to win the support of an exasperated population, but to ‘contain’ it long enough to be able to systematically alienate the next generations, in the hope that these would be both numerous and devoted to the theocratic state. This new domestic policy also extends to the regional and international...

The Power of Science

It focuses on the use of Quantitative tools, Top-down and Bottom-up models in up-stream European decision-making process through five EU policy case studies: energy taxation, climate change, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and internalisation of external costs.

Faced by strong stakeholders, an elected European Parliament and a Council representing the national interests, the Commission defends the credibili...
