ACER Director

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“I am thrilled to be, together with the Agency, at the front line, regulation-wise, of the many changes impacting energy systems in Europe. The energy landscape is evolving rapidly, driven in part by technology, by market actor innovation and in part by evolving political priorities, not least as regards decarbonisation of the broader economy, in which energy transitions play a crucial part. 

​​​

While history shows that trust among nations in moments of crisis tends to decrease, I remain firmly convinced that in the coming months and years we need “more Europe”, not less. ACER will play a key role, to the extent possible, to build faith in increased mutual reliance, which I see as being the essence of its mandate”.
