The European Commission's Joint Research Centre focuses on supporting the Energy Union's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, emphasizing the need for increased renewable energy targets by 2030. Ongoing research examines the impact of climate variability on power systems and the role of hydropower in enhancing flexibility. The document provides details on various datasets and reports related to energy production, climate impacts, and future energy scenarios.

The energy union aims to give consumers secure, sustainable, competitive and affordable energy.
From the 4th Report on the state of the Energy Union, April 2019
“But we need to go further
and faster if we are serious
about climate neutrality in
2050.” […]
“increase the European
Union’s target for 2030
towards 55% in a responsible
way”

- 8. “What is the real impact of climate variability on our current power systems?” • This is the main question behind a study we are carrying out • Part of the JRC institutional project WEFE (Water-Energy-Food- Ecosystems) • Second question: what is the role of hydropower in providing the needed flexibility?
- 9. Applications of this modelling approach Ongoing work • Simulation of 34 countries based on 2015 data • Use of climate years 1990-2015 for water inflows, wind & solar availability, and demand Planned work for 2020 • Simulation of future energy scenarios for 2030 and 2050 (e.g. EUCO3232.5) • Use of climate change scenarios for water inflows, wind and solar availability, and demand (electrification rate) • Questions: • What is the impact of climate variability on future power systems? • What is the role of hydropower as a source of flexibility in the future power system?
