European Energy Policy Energy Why energy policy matters for Europe EU pays 2.5% of its annual GDP to import energy: € 270 bn for oil € 40 bn for gas Several Member States rely on a single supplier for gas EU = 20% of world energy use & largest global energy importer But EU will increasingly compete for energy sources Energy represents 80% of EU GHG emissions Investment challenge around € 1 trillion by 2020 (mostly private sector) Energy costs are an important and increasing part of households' and businesses' expenses Energy Global demand is on the rise – effects on energy security and climate change Growth in primary energy demand (in Mtoe), IEA 2011 India and China accounting for 50% of growth: the EU will increasingly compete for energy resources Source: IEA, World Energy Outlook 2011 Energy The security of supply challenge % of missing gas supply – 300 mcm/d for 14 days 6-20 January 2009 > 75 % 50 - 75 % 25 – 50 % < 25% 0% The January 2009 gas crisis showed the lack of physical interconnections and the poor functioning of the EU internal market, with several Member States facing severe energy shortages for several days.

Energy Where are we today? (1) Reduce greenhouse gas levels by 20% Current trend to 2020 Increase share of renewables to 20% Reduce energy consumption by 20% Current trend to 2020 -20% Current trend to 2020 20% Energy 100% -10% Where are we today? (2) Energy markets remain highly concentrated: • need to encourage new entrants and independent suppliers • need to encourage consumer switching Only 3% of EU electricity traded across borders Several regions still disconnected from the rest of the EU Investment challenge is huge and uncertainty amongst investors very high while the current investment cycle should be the one which transforms Europe's energy system Energy 1 - Achieving an energy-efficient Europe . . .

European Council EU objective for 2050 – GHG emissions down to 80-95% below 1990 levels Looks forward to elaboration of a low-carbon 2050 strategy – a framework for longer-term action in energy and related sectors .
