European CommissionDG Energy and Transport Security of Supply Seminar Melnik castle 31.5.2005 “Keeping balance between electricity supply and demand in the European Union” Matti SupponenElectricity and Gas UnitMatti.Supponen@cec.eu.int
Summary • EU legislation • Electricity market context • Short, medium and long-term security of supply • Conclusions
An Energy Policy for the EU The two oil crises (1973 and 1979) prompted concerns to secure the energy supply and led to EU energy policy being considerably extended. Increasing environmental concerns and the establishment of the internal market for energy have been a source of fresh impetus in recent years. EU energy policy seeks to find a balance between: • security of supply • competitiveness • environmental protection
DG Energy and Transport key dossiers Internal market Security of electricity supply Renewable energies Energy efficiency Oil prices, oil and gas stocks Nuclear energy Energy networks Emissions trading (DG ENV)

Conclusions • Community Policy on security of supply is developed • Directives are “light” and leave much to Member States • Objective to give transparency and a stability to market actors • Objective that necessary investments are realised in a timely and efficient way
