EIB energy lending policy: EUTurbines welcomes the EIB’s support for renewable gases
EUTurbines appreciates the efforts of the EIB to make an ambitious proposal, while still trying to accommodate some of the system needs in the transitional period. Over the next decade gas and the entire gas infrastructure – including power generation – will be an important contributor to accelerate the transformation of the energy system. It will allow a fast phasing out of coal plants and ensure reliability in a power...

Electricity Market Design - Any threshold such as 550g CO2/kWh requires an appropriate calculation methodology
In view of the upcoming trilogue on the Electricity Market Design, COGEN Europe, EUGINE and EUTurbines would like to strongly emphasise that the simple reference to a limit value like the 550g CO2/kWh - or its possible alternatives - is not sufficient: Without defining a harmonised calculation methodology, the new provision risks leading to a patchwork of national calculation methodologies enabling some EU Member States to potentially support high-emitting power...
