Europe covers a large<br />

geographic area with different<br />

characteristics. Every European<br />

region has different resources<br />

and levels of capacity for the<br />

production of renewable energy.<br />

For example, states in southern<br />

Europe are more suited to the<br />

production of solar energy than<br />

those in the north and coastal<br />

areas are more suitable for the<br />

harnessing of wind. The<br />

identification of these areas, the<br />

rehabilitation and re-allocation of<br />

the necessary resources for<br />

energy production, and its<br />

transportation in the rest of<br />

Europe, would be a great<br />

contribution to European energy<br />

network. All this would maximize<br />

the usefulness of the sources of<br />

renewable energy, reduce<br />

consumer costs and balance<br />

supply and demand.<br />

5. Creation of interconnected<br />

regional networks.<br />

In addition to the previous<br />

recommendation, the regional<br />

networks could create an<br />

efficient system of energy<br />

connectivity in every part of the<br />

CONCLUSIONS<br />

The EU Energy Union faces many<br />

challenges. They include a tradition<br />

of collective inaction or hesitation<br />

due to economic interests or<br />

domestic issues that differentiate<br />

the objectives related to renewable<br />

energy and pose historical barriers,<br />

social and cultural cooperation. The<br />

presence of a bankruptcy tradition<br />

continent. Each regional network<br />

would then be connected to the<br />

contiguous regional network.<br />

These regional networks would<br />

be the first step towards the<br />

creation of a single energy<br />

market with advanced<br />

technology for a convenient and<br />

reliable transmission of<br />

electricity, natural gas, etc.<br />

6. Recognition and use of natural<br />

gas as a "bridge fuel."<br />

Despite its potential, the natural<br />

gas has been largely ignored<br />

within the framework Energy<br />

Union. It is, however, an ideal<br />

transition source to integrate<br />

renewable energy sources, as<br />

long as the necessary<br />

infrastructure for the sharing of<br />

renewable is completed. Natural<br />

gas is widely available from<br />

alternative suppliers to Russia,<br />

including the US. With the lifting<br />

of the export ban of energy in<br />

the US, in the coming months,<br />

Europe could benefit greatly by<br />

including liquefied natural gas<br />

(LNG) in the package of energy<br />

Union.<br />

is harmful because the EU wants to<br />

adopt continental level policies<br />

without first putting in place the<br />

necessary mechanisms for the<br />

implementation at the state level.<br />

EU Member States need to clearly<br />

define their goals, synchronize<br />

priorities and take the initiative to<br />

develop an internal energy market.<br />
