Key insights
Policy challenges in the energy transition
-
- Decision-making is fragmented across sectors and administrative levels, leading to inefficiency.
- The need for long-term investment security clashes with the rapid changes in the energy market.
Role of governments and companies
-
-
- The government must have a governing role by creating clear frameworks without top-down policies.
- Companies and grid operators need to collaborate better and share information within a secure framework (e.g. a safehouse).
-
Solutions and governance approach
-
- Transition from tack (ad hoc policy) to navigation (guided coordination within established frameworks).
- More coordination between industry, grid operators, and governments to prevent delays in infrastructure development.
