The European Council meeting tonight and tomorrow will be unbelievably important for several reasons. One of them is that it should determine the EU response to the fossil energy price shock that has been triggered by the situation in the Middle East.
ZOE's @lukasbe.bsky.social on the pros and cons of #MadeinEU 👇 These tools carry both “big potential and big risks” and should be “targeted”. If properly done, buy-EU clauses could “support local jobs” in sectors like battery production, green steel, or electric vehicles.

Bei @zoe-institute.bsky.social haben wir diesen Punkt mal visualisiert. Für die meisten Industrien greift ein Fokus auf Energiepreise (OpEX) in der Tat zu kurz und übersieht viele andere potenzielle Barrieren. Welche davon adressiert werden müssen variiert wie Philipp sagt von Branche zu Branche.
Philipp Jäger@ph-jaeg.bsky.social · last yr.1️⃣mehr zielgerichtet: Natürlich finden alle Unternehmen gesenkte Energiekosten gut. Aber nur für wirklich stark energieintensive Branchen, und das sind wenige, sind Energiepreise ein Faktor für die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Für die Autobranche bspw. sind andere Probleme und Kosten viel wichtiger.
@table.media published our OpEd on how to support energy-intensive industry in Europe while avoiding inefficient subsidy races. @ph-jaeg.bsky.social has a nice and short summary in his thread. ⬇️ table.media/en/europe/op... @lukasbe.bsky.social and @andreaseisl.bsky.social

Philipp Jäger@ph-jaeg.bsky.social · last yr.With the CID & Energy Action Plan, the EU wants to support energy intensive industries. Support is needed - but it's crucial that any national subsidies to lower electricity prices don't result in inefficient distortions that end up harming competitiveness and climate. Short🧵 on a new joint OpEd:
With the #CleanIndustrialDeal and the Affordable Energy Action Plan, the #EuropeanCommission wants to reduce energy prices - including through subsidies. While this approach has merit, it bears substantial risks if executed poorly. Find out why 👉 www.delorscentre.eu/en/publicati... #CID
How to keep energy intensive industry competitive and avoid inefficient subsidy races
With the Clean Industrial Deal and the Affordable Energy Action Plan, the EU Commission wants to reduce energy prices in the short and long term - including through subsidies. This harbours risks.
