Resumen de Regulierung und Innovation im Mehrebenensystem: Was kann und muss europäisches Energie- und Klimaschutzrecht leisten und welche Handlungsfreiheiten brauchen die Mitgliedstaaten?

Claudio Franzius

• The Energy Transition is a challenge for the transformation of the legal foundations of the power supply. This raises the question about responsibility for technical and societal innovations. The energy efficiency law, the emissions trading and the promotion of renewable energies show that not all the responsibility has been shifted to the supranational level and that Member States retain considerable room for action. I will outline how the responsibility for innovation between the European Union and the Member States is distributed and what the value of model competition for energy and climate change law is. Neither the fundamental freedoms nor state aid law are able to restrict unduly the Member States in their scope of action.
