S&D Euro MPs, who were in The Gambia with a European Parliament delegation this week, urged the government and international community to keep up the momentum for progress in the country, as it moves to consolidate its rapid democratic transition.

 

EU negotiators reached an overnight compromise deal on the last remaining part of the Clean Energy Package, electricity market design.

 

Negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council agreed that priority dispatch for existing renewables will continue to apply. For new renewables, in its place come fair and transparent rules on curtailment, including giving compensation for lost revenues in countries where re-dispatch is not market-based.
