Electricity markets are changing. Across Europe they will have to adapt to deliver increasing amounts of electricity from renewable sources, new interconnections across Europe and beyond are needed, and they must ensure a secure, affordable and sustainable electricity supply for all of Europe’s electricity consumers.

Electricity markets of the future is the hot topic of a high-level conference taking place in Florence next week. On Thursday 8 October, decision-makers, businesses and associations alike will tackle questions including how energy markets can become even more flexible, and how they can be properly integrated across Europe.

Meanwhile, the European Commission is seeking your views on electricity market design. In a public consultation which remains open until 8 October, you can give your feedback.
