Recent geopolitical tensions have once again exposed the vulnerability of global energy markets and their impact on European energy prices. As the EU advances its decarbonisation goals, ensuring stable and affordable energy prices remains a key challenge.

This webinar will explore lessons learned from recent price spikes and discuss how European policy tools, particularly State Aid instruments, can strengthen resilience against future disruptions.

Experts from the European Commission, industry, the International Energy Agency (IEA) will share perspectives on competitiveness, energy resilience and the clean energy transition.

  • What worked well in the EU’s response to recent energy price spikes, and where were the gaps?
  • How can State Aid and other policy tools be improved to enhance resilience against future shocks?
  • What role can clean energy and electrification play in mitigating price volatility over the longer term?

 

Keynote speech and Q&A with Aleksandra Baranska, Expert for State Aid within EVP Teresa Ribera’s cabinet.
