Devising concrete actions to implement the European Energy Dialogue

This study operationalises the concept of a European Energy Dialogue (EED) and describes it such that it can be discussed with the stakeholders that should be involved in its implementation. The objective of the EED is to enable stakeholders to work with civil society by providing the necessary structured and validated approach, to mobilise civil society to be more closely involved and to connect the many dialogues taking place at national, regional, city and local level. This study discusses – on the basis of different functions that the EED has to fulfil to achieve its objectives – in what different forms the EED can be set up (from a conference series to an executive agency), what the political and budgetary costs of different organisational options would be, and who should help decide on the form and through what kind of structure (an EED Council composed of senior stakeholders).
