Emergency measures on electricity market: avoid a patchwork that undermines renewables investments
The European Commission has proposed new rules that would cap the price of wind energy and other so-called inframarginal power generation at €180/MWh. WindEurope supports the aim of cushioning the impact of high electricity prices on families and businesses. But national caps that deviate from an EU-wide cap would create a patchwork that would undermine investments … Continue reading Emergency measures on electricity market: avoid a patchwork that undermines renewables investments
