Electricity Markets and RES Integration
- Carefully identify what are the likely regulatory constraints or barriers conditioning the desired integration between the market, the grid and RES
- Propose remedies to overcome these barriers
- Increase awareness among the EU regulatory community (authorities and institutions) on the possible alternatives to bridge the gap between the current regulatory framework and a successful EU energy policy in the context of the RES.
This event is organised within the framework of the European project Towards 2030-dialogue co-funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme of the European Union. About Towards 2030 The aim of this proposed action is to facilitate and guide the RES policy dialogue for the period towards 2030. This strategic initiative aims for an intense stakeholder dialogue that establishes a European vision of a joint future RES policy framework. The dialogue process will be coupled with in-depth and continuous analysis of relevant topics that include RES in all energy sectors but with more detailed analyses for renewable electricity. The work will be based on results from the IEE project beyond2020, where policy pathways with different degrees of harmonisation have been analysed for the post 2020 period. Towards2030-dialogue will directly build on these outcomes: complement, adapt and extend the assessment to the evolving policy process in Europe. The added value of Towards2030-dialogue includes the analysis of alternative policy pathways for 2030, such as the (partial) opening of national support schemes, the clustering of regional support schemes as well as options to coordinate and align national schemes. Additionally, this project offers also an impact assessment of different target setting options for 2030, discussing advanced concepts for related effort sharing. Objectives In line with the key priorities related to strategic initiatives for RES electricity (i.e. informing the debate on the post 2020 horizon) it is the core aim of Towards2030-dialogue to facilitate and guide the RES policy dialogue for the period towards 2030. This represents also the key specific objective as outlined below. Thus, a list of all major specific objectives of this action looks as follows:
- Launch and guide an intense stakeholder dialogue on the RES policy framework for 2030.
- Contribute to the design and implementation of suitable RES policy pathways towards 2030.
- Provide insights on and solutions for the establishment of 2030 (RES) targets.
This will add transparency to the debate on 2030 (RES) targets and enhance political decision making.

Out-of-Court Dispute Settlement in the Energy Sector
A joint initiative of the FSR and the EUI Law Department
A comparison of out-of-court settlements in different jurisdictions
The purpose of the workshop is to examine the varieties of institutional arrangements implemented in different jurisdictions (such as administrative dispute resolution, ombudsman schemes, online dispute resolution, arbitration, mediation), the reasons for their adoption, as well as how the institutional design is matched onto the types of problems (business-to-business or business-to-customer) as well as the sources of normativity used to resolve disputes. At the conceptual level, the workshop will examine the value added of such ADR schemes in the energy sector as it compares both to traditional private party dispute settlement in courts and to the use of out-of-court mechanisms in other sectors of the economy.
Input from a wide range of practitioners
The principal input in the workshop will be from practitioners who are involved in different types of dispute settlement, including legal practitioners, industry representatives, regulators, consumer organisations and others. Prominent academics working in the field of energy regulation will also be invited to stimulate the joint discussion.

Oxford Handbook of International Economic Governance and Market Regulation
The FSR is pleased to host and co-organise this high-level initiative with University Paris-Dauphine and Sciences-Po Paris.
This event is the first of two workshops, designed to bring high-level academics together in order to analyse and debate on the dynamic of global, international, economic governance and regulation of markets. This “organized discussion” between scholars of various horizons acknowledges the open, contested character of the broad questions raised by the dynamics of international and global institutions.
A Handbook by Oxford University Press The ultimate aim of these two workshops will consist in the composition of a “Handbook on International Economic Governance and Market Regulation”, which will be published by Oxford University Press and which will cover all the important political debates and analytical stakes raised by the transnationalization of regulatory capacities of specific sectors – such as communication and media, energy, transportation, finance and insurance, as well as transversal regulatory issues (environment, public health, labour, etc.). These workshops and the eventual volumes will be developed around four main topics:
- The Production and Emergence of Systems of Norms
- The Challenge of Compliance
- Accountability, Sovereignty and Reforms of the Current Global Economic Governance Framework
- Toward Systemic Transformation
The overall approach will be cross-disciplinary and will focus, under different standpoints and domains, on the spread of the transnational private and public regulatory regimes which we have witnessed over the last thirty years. Rather than embracing a macroeconomic or macro-institutional approach to analyse how the global economy works, the workshops will promote a micro, bottom-up perspective that would start from the analysis of individual agents, either market participants or regulators, and analyse how they adopt rules, bend them and act upon them. Please note that this is a closed event and participation is by invitation only.
Co-organised by:
The Chair Governance and Regulation is a platform which facilitates cooperation between regulatory stakeholders (regulatory authorities, companies, public authorities) and experts (academic networks, consultancy firms, international organisations) with the aim of furthering understanding of the economic and political aspects of regulation and improving institutional frameworks and practices.
