🟢 3 Questions on the European Grids Package with Elisabeth Cremona
👉 https://eu.boell.org/en/2026/02/05/3-questions-eu-grids-package-elisabeth-cremona

🔌 As Europe races to decarbonise and secure its energy future, grids have moved from the technical margins to the heart of policy debates. Renewables outpacing fossil fuels, surging demand from electrification and data-intensive technologies, and bottlenecks in network capacity have made grid infrastructure one of the EU’s most pressing challenges.

In this 3 Questions interview, we speak with Elisabeth Cremona, Lead for European Grid Infrastructure Research at Ember, about why grids matter for competitiveness, security and the energy transition, how planning processes need to evolve, and what the new European Grid Package really changes.

🌍 Against the backdrop of a fragmenting global trade order, the European Parliament has voted to request a legal opinion from the European Court of Justice on the EU–MERCOSUR Agreement, a move that could significantly delay its ratification.

In this 3 Questions interview, we spoke with Sven Giegold, Deputy Chair for Europe of Alliance 90/The Greens, about what the vote means for Europe’s trade policy, its strategic direction, and the role of the Greens in this debate.

🟢 The theme of the ’ 40th Congress in Lisbon was ‘Loud for People, Planet and Europe’. We asked our President what does it mean for the Greens to be ‘loud’ in a Europe where autocrats and climate backlash are getting ever louder too, and what’s the one message the European Green family should take from this Congress as we head into a tougher political decade ⏩

💬 Your turn! What should Greens be loud about in 2026? What’s the message you think Europe needs to hear right now? Leave your comment! 🌻

🗳️🇳🇱 On 29 October, the went to the polls in a much-anticipated election that could reshape the country’s political landscape – and its role in Europe. After two years of a populist government, the centrist liberal party D66, led by Rob Jetten , emerged as the winner.

🌻🌹 Meanwhile, the alliance fell short of expectations, raising new questions about the future of the Dutch centre-left – and about what comes next in coalition talks. So – what happened, what’s next, and why should Brussels care?

👥🎙️ In this new 𝗕ö𝗹𝗹·𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 episode, host Joan Lanfranco Pari talks with Noortje Thijssen, Director of the Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks, the political foundation of , the Dutch green party. Noortje is also since 2023 Senator for GroenLinks-PvdA at the Dutch Upper House . We unpack with Noortje the election results, the prospects for coalition-building, and what this means for the Netherlands’ direction – both at home and in Europe.
