Abstract

This chapter investigates the incremental developments in the trans-European energy networks by looking at the physical networks aimed at connecting the national markets, which we dub the “hardware” complementing European Union (EU) energy network regulation—the “software” of the energy market. The central argument of this chapter is that the full integration and a high level of interconnectivity represent the main instrument for the gradual construction of a resilient Energy Union with a forward-looking energy policy meant to ensure safe, sustainable and affordable energy for Europe. The Energy Union project benefits from the increasing politicization of the energy policy and it institutionalizes a holistic approach to it. The latter is endorsed by all political levels in the institutional quadrangle and reinforces the important infrastructure dimension of European energy security.
