OIES Podcast – Rethinking Europe’s energy trilemma

In this latest OIES podcast, Michal Meidan and Bill Farren-Price talk to Michael Martin Richter about the complex trade-offs in Europe’s energy transition and the need to balance energy security, industrial competitiveness and sustainability. They discuss the key takeaways from a joint workshop organised by the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies and the Hanns Seidel Foundation UK and highlight a number of challenges facing Europe:

• First, the energy price premium that hinders industrial competitiveness.
• Second, despite a desire to accelerate the energy transition, Europe is facing  growing political friction and pushback against the costs of the energy transition.
• Third, governments need to manage the shifting geopolitical landscape and the need to manage complex dependencies on Russia, China and the US.
