The recent electricity market design reform has redefined the role of capacity mechanisms in the EU. No longer seen as temporary safeguards, these instruments now benefit from a streamlined State aid approval process. At the same time, an increasing number of Member States are considering introducing capacity markets in the coming years.
As capacity mechanisms become a key tool to drive investment and ensure security of supply, effective cross-border coordination will be essential. Such coordination can help avoid under- or over-procurement and direct investments toward the most cost-efficient locations across Europe. If capacity markets continue to expand and consolidate, the next step could be to integrate them regionally.
This debate will bring together representative of key EU institutions to discuss :
