Zusammenfassung

Die Integration der Energiemärkte stellt ein wesentliches Ziel der Europäischen Union im Zuge der Schaffung eines gemeinsamen Binnenmarktes dar. Auf diesem Weg soll grenzüberschreitender Energiehandel ermöglicht, der Wettbewerb gesteigert, Kosten gesenkt und letztendlich niedrigere Energiepreise sowohl für Unternehmen als auch für private Verbraucher realisiert werden. Die zu diesem Thema existierende Literatur fokussiert in der Regel auf die Integration der europäischen Stromgroßhandelsmärkte. Das vorliegende Papier analysiert den Grad der Zielerreichung, welcher bislang zu beobachten ist und identifiziert Handlungsbedarfe.

Integration of european energy markets: achievements and challenges

Abstract

The integration of energy markets is an essential objective of the European Union in the course of creating a common internal market. Cross-border energy trading, increased competition, reduced costs, and ultimately lower energy prices for both businesses and private consumers should be realized. The existing literature on this topic focuses usually on the integration of Europe’s electricity wholesale markets. The present paper analyzes to which degree goals have been achieved and identifies necessary further actions.

Keywords

Common market Common energy market Market integration Market coupling Renewable energies Cross-border energy transmission
