Over the last few years, the EU internal electricity market has largely been a success story, especially for consumers, and underlines the need for a functioning common European market. However, the European Commission has rightly recognised that the energy price crisis of last year has highlighted a clear need for improvement.

Svensk Vindenergi considers the proposed changes to the electricity market to be positive. If the EU is to cope with both the urgent energy situation and the transition to meet the climate target, new electricity generation needs to come on the ground quickly. This means that the focus must be on long-term investment conditions and stability. Short-term interventions and political uncertainty must end.

The increase of prices in the wholesale market, which began in mid-2021, reached historic highs after the invasion of Ukraine, with two simultaneous factors intervening in particular: the increase in gas prices and the increase in CO2 emission allowance prices. Faced with this situation, the European Council asked the European Commission to introduce reforms to the functioning of the European electricity market.
