Internal Energy Market
Internal Energy Market
The consolidation of an Internal Energy Market in Europe is one of the future challenges facing European electricity systems to increase efficiency, security of supply and sustainability.
Connected for Europe's energy efficiency and security
Since 1996, the European Union has been engaged in an energy unification project designed to ensure fair access to electricity for member countries, while increasing the safety and security of European electricity systems and promoting efficiency.
In addition, the shaping of an Internal Energy Market in Europe also drives greater competitiveness between the coupled markets, as energy goes from where it is cheapest to where it is most expensive.
Furthermore, the larger the unified market, the greater its management and operational capacity, ensuring greater support from the coupled electricity systems as well as greater optimisation and utilisation of the amount of renewable energy that can be produced at any given time, thus increasing the sustainability of the European electricity system at all levels.
On the Road to a Single Energy Market in Europe
As part of the gradual convergence to the Internal Energy Market in Europe, we are currently part of the following platforms:
Platforms in Process
We are actively working on the integration of the Spanish electricity system into the rest of the European platforms:
Associations of which we are members
As the Spanish TSO and the backbone of the ecological transition in our country, we are part of the network of associations that promotes close collaboration to meet the challenges of decarbonisation.
