The EU Elections 2024 may have concluded, but the analysis has just begun. While progressive voices hold onto their position as the second-largest majority, the rise of the radical right is expected to have an unforeseen impact over the next five years.

 

FEPS has devoted this week to prepare a special post-election analysis, while we continue working on other fronts. Check it out!

Advancing an Energy Minimum Right

13 June – FEPS HQ (Hybrid) – In collaboration with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES)

Advancing an Energy Minimum Right

On the occasion of EU Sustainable Energy Week, we hosted a discussion to explore how and why Energy Minimum Rights (EMRs) emerged in the context of the EU debate around energy access, socioeconomic fairness and the Just Transition. Among the speakers was Professor Raphael Heffron who presented the insight and recommendations from his upcoming publication on the same topic.

POLICY STUDY

How can RepowerEU consolidate recovery?

Recovery Watch series

By Franco Tomassoni and Tiago Santos Pereira – In collaboration with FES, Colabor and Institut Emile Vandervelde

 

This policy study is part of the Recovery Watch series, which monitors the implementation of National Recovery and Resilience Plans.

Analysing the case studies of Denmark, Estonia, France, Portugal, and Spain, the researchers demonstrate that European energy policy still lacks significant cross-border infrastructure investments, as well as the need for further monitoring and evaluation to reach a concept of energy security that puts European resilience at the centre.
