The EU internal electricity market: Done forever? / Jean-Michel Glachant and Sophia Ruester. Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, 2013, 21 p. (RSCAS 2013/66)http://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/28123Authors's abstract :Taking a quarter-century to build a European internal market for electricity may seem an incredibly long journey. The aim of achieving a European-wide market might be reached, but we have gone through – and should continue to go through – a process subject to many adverse dynamics. The EU internal market may derail greatly in the coming years from the effects of a massive push for renewables, as well as a growing decentralization of the production-consumption loop. Moreover, a serious concern is the risk of a definitive fragmentation of the European electricity market due to uncoordinated national moves with respect to renewable support and capacity mechanisms.
