WindEurope calls on EU Member States to apply same cap to all forms of inframarginal power generation

21/09/2022 (Agence Europe)As EU Member States try to agree on emergency measures proposed by the European Commission to tackle soaring energy prices, WindEurope, an organisation representing the European wind energy industry, called on governments, on Wednesday 21 September, to apply the same cap to the revenues actually earned by inframarginal power producers. “Investors need clear rules around their likely revenues”, the organisation said. While it defends the Commission’s proposal to set a European cap of €180/MWh (see EUROPE 13021/1), WindEurope is critical of the Commission’s decision to leave it up to Member States to introduce a lower cap at national level. In its view, this creates uncertainty that could harm investment in renewable energy, especially if Member States decide to add the possibility of setting different caps depending on the source of electricity.
