Research project EVOLVE - Europe’s evolving market design towards 2040 The EVOLVE project examines how the EU Electricity Market Reform (EMR) is implemented, recognising that implementation involves continued decision-making at both EU and national levels. These decisions shape the balance between a more active role of the state and greater reliance on market forces, and determine how different issues are regulated in EU and national law.

The project also investigates the factors influencing implementation decisions and how these affect market design and functioning. In particular, EVOLVE evaluates how EMR implementation impacts European countries’ ability to ensure effective electricity markets, expand renewable energy, and maintain clean backup capacity as well as flexible demand.
