Member states are ultimately responsible for their energy mix. Their decisions have transnational consequences. They affect the price of EEX and the use and needs of interconnects. I’d like to look at these dynamics holistically and focus on cost.
The overall renewable energy share is set to increase in the future. Distributed feed-in to the grid and volatility of power supply increases overall system complexity. Generation, storage, and use must be harmonized. European legislators have created a framework for ramping up RE. This is being gradually implemented and applied. However, energy suppliers have limited room for maneuver when it comes to pricing.
