Infrastructures are the foundation of any economy, and energy is essential to our daily lives. Electricity transmission, gas and oil pipelines, smart grids, energy storage, and CO2 transport are all critical components of our current and future energy systems. The European Union's energy and climate policies since 2007 have resulted in the Third Energy Package, which governs the internal electricity and gas markets, the Directive setting a target of 20% of renewable sources of energy by 2020, the Energy Efficiency Directive, and the Regulation establishing guidelines on trans-European energy infrastructures and the new financing programme called 'Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).' In just five years, national energy policies have been significantly shaped by EU Directives and Regulations, now based on Article 194 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It is now time to fully comprehend the significance of these regulatory changes and the resulting 'Europeanisation of energy policy.'
