The CESEC High-Level Group coordinates efforts to facilitate cross-border and trans-European energy infrastructure projects in central eastern and south eastern Europe.
With the Polish and Czech power systems still reliant on inflexible coal power plants and ageing grid infrastructure, these curtailment events will likely be increasing in frequency in the coming
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
Additional areas the EU should now seek to support to tackle the energy transition in Central and Eastern Europe include: Social measures to improve low-income households’ access to fossil free alternatives and address labour shortages in clean industries. Investments in grid expansions and modernisation.
region106 constitute only 13% of the EU’s internal interconnection capacity. Ember modelling shows107 that additional interconnection capacity in the region further reduces power prices and improves the integration of wind and solar by lowering energy curtailment. Several proje
The Commission published a study in July 2024 on the CESEC’s region potential for renewable and low-carbon gas deployment in the context of infrastructure development. It assesses prospects for ramping up renewable and low-carbon hydrogen production and off-take in the 16 CESEC countries.
It finds that in particular the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) often helped support commitments and plans to phase out fossil fuels like coal. Prosumers – private households with wind and solar installations – have also played a key role in growing renewables.
