It is often argued that Germany's energy transition (the so-called "Energiewende") needs to be "Europeanized" so as to make the transition process more efficient. In particular the German system of feed-in tariffs for renewables is criticized for being an obstacle to efficient European energy supply. However we point out that Germany's approach is no outlier but rather well embedded in the European context of heterogeneous energy policies. Also full centralization of energy policy decisions on the EU-level is neither desirable from an economic point of view nor a politically feasible option. Against this background we identify priorities for fostering the European dimension of the Member States’ energy policies such as the coordination of grid extensions and capacity markets. |
