The EU Clean Energy Package sets the EU energy efficiency and renewable energy ambitions for the 2030
horizon. It also updates the rules that govern the functioning of the internal electricity market and the
transmission and distribution grids. The package, proposed by the European Commission in November
2016, includes 8 legislative proposals on the electricity market and consumers, Energy Efficiency and
Energy Efficiency of buildings, Renewables & bioenergy sustainability as well as governance of the Energy
Union. The Council agreed on its negotiating position for four legislative proposals of the EU Clean
energy package in December 2017. For the different topics selected for this report, we will present the
Commission proposals as well as the Council position included in the electricity Directive and Regulation.
The positions of the different stakeholders of the EU electricity sector will also be stated at the end of each
discussed topic.
