Download or read book Renewable Energy Law and Policy in the European Union written by Paul Hodson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU has embarked upon a fundamental change in the direction of its energy policy, with the agreement by the European Council of the 20-20-20 targets, all by 2020. The new legislative framework presently being finalized to put this in practice will have profound effects on all those active in the energy industry. Achieving a 20% share of renewables in the EU's energy mix will require massive investments and an increase by roughly ten times the level of wind and solar energy presently installed in Europe today. This all creates huge challenges and opportunities for EU businesses. A full understanding of support schemes, obligations, and planning requirements is vital for both the industry and its advisors. This volume provides a complete working guide to the new EU legislation. It includes: the economic, environmental, and energy security rationale underpinning the new proposals * national renewable targets, levels, and enforcements mechanism * the trading of renewable energy credits and guarantees of origin * biofuels: obligations, sustainability, and the Fuel Quality Directive * grid access rules/priority access in practice * the EU's electricity grid: how will it need to evolve to incorporate the new renewable electricity.

Download or read book Free Movement and the Energy Sector in the European Union written by Sirja-Leena Penttinen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the case-law of the European Court of Justice on free movement in the energy sector. Sirja-Leena Penttinen provides a comprehensive review of the interpretation and application of the free movement provisions in the energy sector by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which allow for cross-border energy trade (free movement of goods) and energy investments (free movement of capital). Through detailed analysis of ECJ case-law, Penttinen tracks the development of the legislative framework at EU level in response to the growth of the energy sector, as well as exposing the various political and economic nuances at play. In addition, she sheds light on the dynamic relationship between the EU Member States and their regulatory autonomy, the EU legislator, the Commission and the Court in the establishment of the EU internal energy market. Taking a coherent, systematic approach, this volume will be of great interest to scholars of EU law and energy policy, as well as policymakers and professionals working in this sector.

Download or read book Energy Law in Europe written by Martha M. Roggenkamp and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 1097 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The energy sector in Europe is changing rapidly under the influence of, inter alia, trends towards globalization, liberalization, competition, de-monopolization, and (re-)regulation. Within the European Community this process has been triggered by the European Commission's Internal Energy Market programme of 1988. Subsequently, several Directives have been issued which have changed the face of the European energy market. This book provides an overview of these important developments at the international, European, and national levels. The first chapter provides an overview of the most important principles of international law of relevance for the energy sector. This is followed by analysis of pertinent international organisations such as the IEA and the NEA. The Energy Charter Treaty is addressed in a separate chapter in acknowledgement of its importance as the first international agreement which provides arrangements exclusively for the entire energy sector, i.e. both with regard to the exploration and production of petroleum and the transport and trade of the energy produced. The first half of the book concludes with extensive analysis of developments within the EC. It includes an examination of the key EC Treaty provisions as well as of the Directives which have been issued since 1988. The second half of the book describes the way in which these Directives have been implemented in several countries of the EEA. In order to understand the differences between the individual Member States, each national chapter commences with a short analysis of the constitutional and regulatory framework. This is followed by an examination of the upstream and downstream energy sector, with the extent of coverage determined by the resource base of each country. Thus, for example, more attention is paid to exploration and production of oil and gas in the North Sea countries than in southern european member states. Anticipating the need to implement the Kyoto protocol, analysis of the promotion of energy saving, energy efficiency and the promotion of renewable energy is also found in the national chapters. The book concludes with a comparison of legal developments in Europe and addresses the key question 'are we heading towards an international energy market?'
Download or read book EU Renewable Electricity Law and Policy written by Tim Maxian Rusche and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two basic policy tools for promoting renewable electricity: price regulation (feed-in tariffs) and quantity regulation (green certificates). In economic theory, they are equally efficient. Contrary to conventional thinking, the author demonstrates that under real-world conditions, price regulation is more efficient. EU law obliges Member States to put support schemes in place, but leaves their design to national authorities. They need, however, to comply with EU state aid and internal market rules, and their financing may not result in import duties and discriminatory taxation. This book provides a detailed analysis of the decisions practice adopted by the Commission and the case law of the Union Courts. As support schemes mature, has time not come for putting an end to regulatory competition? With huge efficiency gains to be expected, the author expertly examines the political obstacles and sets out three different pathways to achieve EU-wide harmonization.

Download or read book Renewable Energy Policy Convergence in the EU written by David Jacobs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the coordination of renewable energy policies in the European Union using an innovative theoretical approach to explain national policy making. David Jacobs asks, why are national support instruments for electricity from renewable energy sources converging, even though the harmonisation of these frameworks at the European level has failed? Which causal mechanisms lead to cross-national policy similarities? And what are the implications for policy coordination in the EU? The author traces the evolution of feed-in tariffs - the most successful and most widely used support mechanism for renewable electricity - in Germany, Spain and France. He reveals increasing cross-national policy similarities in feed-in tariff design - despite the failure of harmonizing instruments at the European level. He explains these increasing policy similarities by applying policy convergence theory. Policy convergence can occur voluntarily, based on transnational communication, regulatory competition and technological innovations and these findings have important implications for European policy steering. The key to this book is the interrelation of an innovative theoretical concept (coordination of policies in the international arena via voluntary cooperation) with a very topical empirical research focus - the promotion of renewable energies in the EU. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of environmental policy, comparative politics and European studies.
