What does the proposed European Grid Package mean for the future of the energy industry?

In this episode of Frankly Speaking, Richard Howitt was joined by Alina Laszlo-Orth, Head of EU Affairs at E.ON and Tereza Fialová, lawyer at the Responsible Energy Team at Frank Bold.

Together they discussed the European Commission’s EU Grid Package, and whether it goes far enough in guaranteeing the energy transition in Europe. You’ll also hear about:

  • E.ON’s progress on expanding their use of renewables – with the company recently hitting the milestone of two million renewable assets being connected into their German grid
  • What the EU Grid Package will mean for energy companies like E.ON
  • Why the grid urgently needs to be modernised in order to ensure a sufficient supply of affordable, clean and secure energy  
  • Why the grid’s existing ‘first come, first served’ principle should be replaced by ‘first ready, first served,’ according to Responsible Energy’s report on how to improve the grid for a safer future in Europe  
  • How reducing the cost of energy and supporting the energy transition go hand-in-hand
  • The crucial relationship between the energy transition and greater strategic autonomy on energy for Europe
