>French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday advocated for a single European energy market and for the construction of an integrated electricity grid.
>“We must deliver a genuine energy union capable of providing stable, predictable and competitive energy to industry,“ he said in a speech in Antwerp, Belgium.
The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry.
>He said such as single energy market would require massive investment in energy grids and creating an integrated general grid.
Are they being forced to shut down their independent energy industries like what was done to Germany?
That will just raise everybodys prices up to meet ours.
In this a good idea for us? Considering we could develop such good offshore wind capabilities here. Though prices here are obviously fucking high.
There’s a lot of factors in this it seems so not really sure how to feel about it in the context of Ireland.
EDIT: not sure why this is being downvoted this much I was just asking for a perspective from people with more knowledge perhaps
Macron is asking for something that effectively already exists.
From Portugal to Turkey, and Estonia to Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, there is already a synchronised European electricity grid running on the same phase.
Only the 4 Nordics (except Danish Jutland), Britain and the island of Ireland aren’t part of this grid. Russia and Belarus have their own grid too.
The All Irish Grid is connected by High-Voltage DC with the British grid and with the European grid. This allows import and export of electricity.
The Irish Grid is not in synchronisation with either the British or European grids, as that would need undersea AC cables.
Combined with that is the Single Market. France can sell us their nuclear power whenever. The Single Currency means unit prices don’t even need to be converted.
So… What’s Macron asking for?
Great If it reduces my fkn bill then I’m all for it I don’t care where it comes from.
Macron is unbelievably good when it comes to foreign policy and unbelievably historically bad when it comes to domestic.
It’s baffling. He really should just take a job in the EU and leave the French alone.
