Fsr Energy & Climate

Description: Nicolò Rossetto (FSR) and Jean-Michel Glachant (FSR) discuss the role of the Florence Forum in the development of an internal market for electricity. Following an intense exchange of views on the European Commission’s proposal on regional cooperation and ROCs, Glachant highlights the need for coordination tools, cost and benefit sharing principles and solidarity at the European level. These three elements are necessary if Europe wants to create a seamless electricity system from Lisbon to Helsinki. Cross-border remedial actions for congestion management and crisis management are two concrete and relevant examples, where coordination, sharing and solidarity are particularly needed.
