Analysis of a secure, competitive and sustainable European energy policy

Speaker: Didier Beutier, vice-president for economic prospective studies, AREVA

Nuclear energy sources are acknowledged as being equally qualified as renewable ones in order to support a sustainable energy policy. Nuclear renaissance is now underway in the world.

EU Member States are entering the renewal phase of their power generation assets and Europe can reach the three key objectives of energy policy by making the relevant technology choices: reduce CO2 emissions, minimize the cost of electricity and limit its dependence towards third party countries.

Didier Beutier analysed with us the policy needed to promote an optimal energy mix, with regulatory schemes and incentives needed at a European level.
