Driven by gas prices hikes, electricity bills in the EU are at record highs this winter. To lower the burden on consumers, national governments across Europe are imposing clawback mechanisms affecting energy suppliers, including renewable energy suppliers. While it is critical to protect consumers, such measures might jeopardize the Fit-for-55 ambitions by breaking investor confidence, with impacts on long term investment in renewables and undermining the correct functioning of the EU’s Internal Electricity Market.
What is the impact of current clawback measures on solar investments? What specific solar solutions could insulate individuals from future price shocks? What other tools could be mobilised to support renewable energy deployment while protecting consumers from high electricity prices?
In this open conversation, we convene stakeholders from the industry and policymakers working in energy policy to discuss these important topics. An interactive Q&A session then allows the audience to share insights and questions.
