About the event
The liberalisation of Europe’s energy markets was one of the major developments that followed the collapse of communism more than three decades ago, triggering a period of free trade and wealth creation. However, with Russia’s war in Ukraine, the transition to a greener economy and a trend towards deglobalisation, the ideological underpinnings of Europe’s electricity and gas markets are coming apart.
This workshop by Dr Aura Sabadus will analyse the causes that are leading to this new pivotal shift and attempt to provide an outlook to Europe’s energy markets of the future.
The event is hosted by the Climate and Energy Policy Lab, an exciting new unit run by climate change and energy policy experts at the University of Westminster. The Lab brings together external organisations, policymakers and stakeholders to deliver professional workshops and events for students.
Location
This event takes place in Room UG05, 309 Regent Street, London, W1B 2HW.
