Response to Climate Law

31 Jan 2020

The Roundtable for Europe’s Energy Future (REEF), constituted in 2011, comprises CEOs from leading European renewable energy companies, Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and technology providers, whose core business is to electrify Europe while mitigating climate change. We have established several key principles aimed at leading the way to a sustainable, socially acceptable, economically viable, secure and consumer friendly energy transition. They include, among others, creating an efficient market, fostering regional governance, embracing digital solutions and mobilising consumers. To align with the objectives of the European Commission’s Green Deal proposal, we propose the following focus areas that could accelerate the effort to energise Europe in a sustainable way and help achieve our common goals: 1. Integration of renewable energies facilitated by a flexible, digital and interconnected power grid is fundamental to realise the European Green Deal. We would underline that security of supply enabled by a reliable, secure and efficient energy system and maintaining critical grid infrastructure should always remain at the core of Europe’s energy strategy. 2. Strengthening of markets and carbon pricing will deliver a cost efficient and affordable European Green Deal. A global carbon price and a border carbon tax mechanism would help provide a level playing field to avoid carbon leakage. Innovative technologies, eco- conception, digitalisation and due attention to cyber security all across the power value chain, would play a key role. 3. The European Green Deal needs to ensure that the energy transition is socially just and fair. Incentivisation of consumers and public acceptance of the infrastructure combined with a strong commitment from European, national and local authorities will be key success factors. 4. Political alignment and cooperation between governments, regulators, producers, transmission and distribution operators, as well as technology providers, are key to achieve the European Green Deal. 5. We fully support the "Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace” (2018) in favour of the development of common principles for securing cyberspace, as well as the improved resilience of critical infrastructure. Our objectives and activities are very much aligned with the European Green Deal and we would be privileged to continue to work with the European Commission.
