| Abstract | It is often argued that energy policy is too
fragmented across EU Member States and should be "Europeanized" to pave
the way towards an efficiently organized European power system, which
rests on the internal market for energy and a pan-European super-grid.
However, this view neglects i) the heterogeneity of European energy
policies in terms of harmonization and centralization, ii) economic
arguments in favor of decentralization and iii) legal as well as
political-economic obstacles against centralization of decision making.
In this vein, we point out that a plea for a stronger role of the EU
needs to be made with care and differentiation. |
