The EU's Automotive Package includes measures to improve affordability of EVs and it's good @ec.europa.eu listened to consumer demands for clear car labelling. But the EU should be wary of false solutions (like hybrids) that'll only make mobility more expensive for consumers. Our reaction 👇

I had parts of this piece written before and then yesterday's vote in the EP blew up the analysis. Which goes to show how politics in the EP is changing. For more, read below 👇

What are the latest developments about energy consumer #data access and sharing in the EU? A fundamental pillar of the EU #interoperability strategy in the field of energy is moving ahead. @fsr-eui.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu fsr.eui.eu/promoting-en...

Germany stands head-and-shoulders above the rest of Europe when it comes to electric vehicle exports. In 2024, German EV exports were over €50 billion. Followed by 🇧🇪 Belgium at €14 billion 🇪🇸 Spain at €7 billion 🇸🇪 Sweden at €6 billion european-clean-tech-tracker.bruegel.org/geography

Are you curious about the future of the Ukrainian energy system and how it can combine the needs of reconstruction with that of decarbonisation? Olena Pavlenko (Dixi Group), Silvia Martinez Romero (World Bank) and Marcus Lippold (EC) will join @fsr-eui.bsky.social to discuss the matter in our course

Emissions associated with industrial combustion and processes increased by 91% between 1990 and 2023 at the global level. Any serious roadmap to Net Zero must consider this fact. But what can be done? To know more, join our online course at the @fsr-eui.bsky.social: fsr.eui.eu/course/getti...

If you consider both direct, indirect & embodied emissions, buildings are a major emitter. Technologies to decarbonise them are to a large extent available, but the task is far from easy. We will explore the topic in Week 5 of our Getting to Net Zero course. To learn more: bit.ly/4pkPOSK

Where are EU Member States with the implementation of regulation enabling the participation of consumers in new models of energy exchange, such as energy sharing and P2P energy trading? A @fsr-eui.bsky.social online debate will address this topic on Thursday. Register here: bit.ly/4p4Ulse

🚨 Getting to Net Zero | New FSR course This 8-week online course, directed by ‪@nicolorossetto.bsky.social and Torbjørg Jevnaker, provides an overview of the role of various sectors in decarbonisation, dives into policy tools, and compares global approaches. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1y6...

Access to and sharing of energy consumer data is essential to empower consumers & facilitate the emergence of data-driven services. Interoperability across borders, rather than full harmonisation, is the approach adopted by the EU. To know more join our online debate: fsr.eui.eu/event/foster...

Getting to net-zero emissions by 2050 will call for a massive and comprehensive effort. All countries and all sectors of the economy must do their part if we want to succeed. At the @fsr-eui.bsky.social a new online course is on the making. Interested? Have a look: fsr.eui.eu/course/getti...

Congratulations to the guy who flies the Houthis’ single 1960s era F-5 fighter jet. 2-0 in the air war isn’t bad.

A major black-out in Europe since several years. Investigation (and resumption of normal operation) still ongoing. Our first 2 pennies on the matter: fsr.eui.eu/blackout-hit... @fsr-eui.bsky.social @mm-corriere-bot.bsky.social

Research on #DataSpaces to facilitate #DataExchange within and across sectors has been ongoing for some time. It is time to start deployment and test ideas on the ground. #INSIEME project kicks off today in Vienna to do that. @fsr-eui.bsky.social is happy to be part of it. Stay tuned!

In the current economic and political context, the rapid decarbonisation of Europe calls for an integrated set of policies. Distant are the days of free markets and private initiatives (i.e., private losses, private profits). Five akeaways from BXL fsr.eui.eu/europes-clea... @fsr-eui.bsky.social

What is #flexibility in today's electricity systems? Where is it traded? What resources can we use to deliver it? What does the latest EU reform say about it? If you want an answer, look at our latest #CoverTheBasics fsr.eui.eu/flexibility-... Thanks @angeblanchard.bsky.social for your contribution!

You can perhaps say “tariffs can do some good” but you just can’t say “tariffs are tax cuts.” And I’ve never been dogmatic about tariffs. I wish universities could revoke PhDs when one of their graduates utter statements that violate basic principles of their academic discipline.

Are you a #PhD student? Are you interested in developing your #modelling skills and applying them to the energy sector? Do you aim to contribute to energy policy & regulatory discussion? If yes, then you might be interested in #LARS! Check it out: fsr.eui.eu/course/loyol... @fsr-eui.bsky.social

ACER has just published its latest report on electricity network tariff methodologies. It looks like a wealth of information for stakeholders and researchers in energy regulation. www.acer.europa.eu/news/getting... #networktariffs #electricityregulation #ACER

Smart cities are an expression that we often hear, but that remains vague to many people. The @fsr-eui.bsky.social is preparing an online training to explore such concept and some of its key pillars. Wanna know more? Check the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H_y... #SmartCities

Global electricity demand is on the rise Emerging economies are set to make up 85% of additional power demand to 2027, due to economic growth & higher air conditioning use Advanced economies are on track to see consumption climb after a 15-year plateau: iea.li/41LN6uD

Should CO2 pipelines be subjet to economic regulation? If so, what should be the key principles to apply when designing such regulation? Does the EU need a homogeneous regulatory model or not? Join the next #FSR debate to know more! fsr.eui.eu/event/regula... @fsr-eui.bsky.social
