The energy transition is Europe’s flagship project. It needs to provide sound answers to the climate and sustainability-, security of supply- and competitiveness imperatives. The energy transition corresponds to a large scale economic and cultural change. It encompasses sector coupling- linking up sectors that have ignored each other previously, like mobility and power. What is the meaning of digitalization, and how to face cybersecurity risks? What is the response to energy poverty, that 50 million Europeans are victims of?

While the geographical scope is Europe at large, divide lines from the past continue to exist, and new ones emerge: What are the borders of the new Energy Europe?

The book analyses the factors driving change: where are we on climate and sustainability, competitiveness and market, and security of supply? It presents the actors: what genesis of and what contemporary institutions for European energy policy, how is energy addressed by the national and by the European; what about the active customer paradigm and the many startups and business models changing, as well as NGOs? It looks into sectors: power, gas, mobility and the powerful push from digitalization. It proceeds with a reality check, based on facts and figures and reflects on modelling. Edited by Susanne Nies the book is prefaced by Jacques Delors and sees contributions from distinguished authors from policy, research, industry and NGOs across Europe.

Online training by the Florence School of  Regulation: 17 May - 12 July 2019

This book was used as dedicated reading material in an online training course on the energy transition. This course, with the same title as the book, targets an international audience. The training was set up by FSR and ENTSO-E and will be offered again at a later date. The book's authors as well as additional experts have submited contributions based on their various areas of expertise.

Reference: 

I was using it as a background material for developing a new lecture on the future of energy markets in Europe. It was extremely useful. 

I appreciated the wealth of knowledge of the contributors and the inside view some chapters gave into the functioning of European organizations.
