Today, the European Parliament voted in favour of sending the electricity market design file (EMD) directly to trilogue negotiations, which is a perfect occasion to release our Episode 3.

The 3rd episode of Live from Brussels is on the new electricity market design. The legislative reform of the Electricity Directive, proposed by the European Commission on 14 March 2023, is one of the responses of the EU to the energy crisis, and it targets three main policy goals: protect consumers from volatile energy prices, enhance stability and predictability of the cost of energy, boost investments in renewable energy.

To speak about this topic, we have two esteemed guests who will provide valuable insights on this topic:

  • MEP Maria da Graça Carvalho, a member of the European Parliament who has been actively involved in shaping energy regulation.
  • Jaume Loffredo, an experienced Energy Team Leader at BEUC – The European Consumer Organisation.

We also appreciate the collaboration of Republica 45, which sponsors the Live from Brussels video edition.
