1. Europe’s Energy Evolution: Conquering
Challenges, Gaining Insights
Andris Piebalgs
Professor, EUI
3 de febrero de 2025

2. Content
•GHG Emissions
•Economic development/Competitiveness
•Energy prices
•Energy security
•Electrification
•Renewable energy
•Energy policy development and outlook for 2025

3. European Energy Highlights

4. GHG Emissions Reduction

5. Progress towards climate targets in the EU

6. Effort Sharing, ETS, LULUCF trends

7. GHG Emissions in the EU by sector

8. Economic
development/Competitiveness

9. Europe has a good basis to be a highly competitive
economy

10. Real GDP growth forecasts (% change)

11. G7 real GDP % change (Q3 2024 against Q4 2019)

12. Energy prices

13. Gas wholesale prices, 2016-2023 (TTF’s QA )

14. Electricity day-ahead prices, 2019-2023

15. Industrial retail electricity prices (EUR/MWh)

16. Wholesale gas prices (EUR/MWh)

17. Energy Security

18. Natural gas demand slowly recovering

19. A lot of LNG terminal capacity unused

20. Gas storage capacity use responding to the demand

21. Electricity system maintains reliable supply

22. Electrification

23. Fuel mix in the EU

24. Electrification - the low hanging fruit to
decarbonisation, 2024
•Emissions cut by 59% (1990) - cleanest power generation mix ever
•Average wholesale day-ahead prices EUR82 per MWh (97 in 2023)
•Renewables 48%, Nuclear 24%, Fossil fuels 28%
•Power demand lower than pre-crisis levels (+2% compared to 2023)
•Negative prices 1480 times

25. Passenger cars by fuel type in Norway

26. 55 billion euro less revenues from car related taxes
and VAT, 2007-2025
•No tax and no VAT on electric cars (ceiling NOK500000)
•Lower toll on all toll roads (at least 30%)
•Reduced prices for parking and ferries
•Lower road fee
•All city taxis must be electric
•Access to bus/taxi lanes
•National charging strategy

27. Renewable Energy

28. Toward renewable energy source targets

29. Share of energy from renewable sources in 2023

30. 4% decrease of primary energy consumption in 2023
compared with 2022

32. Annual solar capacity additions (GW)

33. Too slow with new renewable installations- example
of wind
•Wind generated 17% of all electricity in 2024 (2030 should 34%)
•13 GW new capacity in 2024: 11,4 GW onshore and 1,4 GW offshore
•To reach 2030 target 30 GW a year should be built
•Main bottlenecks - not sufficient application of EU permitting rules; new
grid connections delayed; electrification not quick enough

34. EU Electricity Wholesale Market Integration

35. Electricity Infrastructure Development

36. The three gaps of global green hydrogen deployment

37. Estimated Hydrogen Funding (as of April 30, 2024)

38. Annual Supply of Hydrogen in Offtake Agreements

39. Energy policy development and
outlook for 2025

40. Critical tasks for an accelerated transition in challenging
environment (Tariffs; Interest rates; Uncertainty)
•Electrification (Electric vehicles, heat pumps, industry)
•Low carbon electricity mix (wind, solar, nuclear, battery)
•Hard-to-abate sectors (CCUS, Hydrogen, biofuels)
•Clarity, predictability, and confidence in Europe and its industrial policy
