Experimentalist governance in energy: insights from the EU

• Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies
• FSR: Florence School of Regulation

On 24 April 2024, the FSR Insights series will start looking at “Developments in European energy and climate policy”, the new theme that will be the focus of the series until the summer break.

Dr. Bernardo Rangoni will illustrate some of the results of his extensive research on the governance of various industries, which was recently published in a book by Oxford University Press (Experimentalist Governance: From Architectures to Outcomes). He will focus on two issues at the heart of both the electricity and gas industry – network access and tariffication – and also touch upon more recent ones, such as market manipulation and renewables. By comparing the developments within and across the two sectors, he will show what conditions can lead to the emergence and resilience of non-hierarchical governance in energy and beyond. 

Max Münchmeyer from the FSR will discuss the contribution by Dr. Rangoni before opening the floor to questions from the audience.
