Show Notes

Geopolitical instability, persistent fossil fuel dependence, and the need to maintain industrial competitiveness are forcing European policymakers and energy leaders to confront increasingly urgent questions about whether policies support or hinder energy security, resilience and decarbonisation.

In this episode of the Energy Transitions Podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Marion Labatut, European Affairs Director at EDF, about the strategic choices Europe must make to remain resilient while accelerating its net zero ambitions.

Labatut believes one of Europe’s strongest strategic advantages lies in expanding the use of electricity across transport, buildings, and industry. To support this, she calls for Europe to “stay the regulatory course” and to ensure greater regional coordination to reduce overall system costs and improve grid efficiency.
