🔍 EU securitisation needs a more market-based approach

⚡ If the EU wants to emulate the strengths of the US capital market, it must broaden its ambitions. This can begin with taking a bigger view of securitisations.

The EC’s long-awaited "Grids Package" is finally out. Moving toward a system-oriented approach for Europe's infrastructure is the right step, but it won't work in a black box.
In my latest for @bruegel.org, I argue why transparency is important to making this effective.

⚡ Europeanised energy infrastructure planning is a good idea if done right

🤝 But will the Commission's proposal foster the trust needed to make a centralised infrastructure work?

A European Commission bid for more central oversight of energy infrastructure planning promises benefits if buy-in of EU countries can be secured
