Abstract

Following the Energy Union initiative of the Juncker Commission, Ursula von der Leyen’s announcement of a Green Deal for Europe once again brings energy policy in the center of European integration. This supranational policy entrepreneurship is somewhat surprising. Just a few years ago, various crises in the EU had vividly demonstrated the limits of supranational integration and heralded a resurgence of intergovernmentalism. Against this background and given the timeliness of the topic, energy policy offers interesting insights into dynamics of European integration in the 21st century. The panel brings together scholars focusing on the intra- and interinstitutional aspects of EU energy policy-making with a particular emphasis on the European Council, the Commission and the European Parliament.
