72th Lunch Talk of the GCLC

The internal Energy market:

new State aid guidelines and beyond

Elisabetta RIGHINI, Visting Professor, King's College, London

Lorenzo COPPI, Executive Vice President, Compass Lexecon

The controversial adoption of the new guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy 2014-2020 in April 2014 represented a milestone in the implementation of the modernisation of State aid rules launched by Vice-president Almunia in 2012. The Commisison attempted to rationalise the rules on State aid in the sector but many questions remain open. The reform seems to be still on the ramp and other novelties are at reach (e.g. draft communication on the completion of the internal market on energy)
