Portugal Scapegoats France After Iberian Blackout
After Portugal’s renewable energy gamble ends in a blackout, its energy minister now points fingers at its neighbor to the north for ‘violating’ common market agreements.

After Portugal’s renewable energy gamble ends in a blackout, its energy minister now points fingers at its neighbor to the north for ‘violating’ common market agreements.

Swedish energy minister Ebba Busch blasted Germany for the second time in a week, blaming it for her country’s sky-high energy prices.

Over 180 MEPs attempted to stop the vote for a chance to include the nuclear energy subsidies that the socialist rapporteur removed from the Commission’s original proposal.

Poland’s security is overly dependent on coal, France wants to keep its cheap nuclear energy, and Germany wants them to have none of those things in order to save the planet and make money. Not an easy question.

The commission and government are considering options to restructure the bloc’s common electricity market, and move it further away from natural gas dependence while stabilising consumer prices.
