Tomorrow, the EU electricity market reform is entering into force. In our new paper, we argue that implementation should ensure that low electricity demand does not lead to much higher electricity tariffs for households.

🚨We at Bruegel are happy to launch today a new partnership with Rhodium Group, aimed at comparing clean tech manufacturing and deployment trends in Europe and the US. Here is the first of our new series of quarterly briefings🇪🇺🇺🇸 bruegel.org/analysis/trans…

EU and US clean tech trends are illustrative of the fact that different climate and industrial policies might lead to similar results. The two blocks should respect their different approaches in this space, and focus on exploiting synergies moving forward. bruegel.org/analysis/trans…

Tagliapietra of Bruegel ticked off some of the actions taken just since the election less than two weeks ago. It “all represents a textbook example of how modern industrial policy should be structured. And not many countries have done it all in once.” nytimes.com/2024/07/17/bus…

Strong focus on green in UVDL political guidelines. Clean Industrial Deal, 90% emissions reduction target by 2040 enshrined into Climate Law, European Competitiveness Fund also for clean tech, Clean Trade and Investment Partnerships with third countries, and more. Way to go.

Quick word count comparison of UVDL political guidelines in 2019 and 2024. Competitiveness and defence/security skyrocket, energy drives the green space (it's again about competitiveness and security!), migration jumps and all rest remains almost equal.

🔌 European clean tech tracker European climate goals require a significant increase in electrification of energy demand. Currently, electricity only accounts for 21% of final energy use, falling short of the 2030 target of 33%. ➡️ buff.ly/3UcAit7
