Energy Policy in the Communities

Energy policy in the European Community has been limited, thus far, to the collection of information, the setting of objectives, support for some research and demon stration projects, and the making of recommendations to member countries. This situation is likely to continue in the near future, because the institutions of the Community were not set up to cope with the complexities of a common energy policy. More importantly, there are major differences in resource endowments and energy policies of the member states, which inhibit cooperation, since energy is an extremely sensitive area of national sovereignty. Since the 1973-74 oil crisis, more energy policy has been made at the national level than at the European level. However, on the whole, west European countries have responded more rapidly with revisions and improvements in their energy policies than has the United States. They have acted to set objectives whereby Community dependence on imported energy would be reduced by 1985, and to encourage adjustment of the mix of energy sources. Even if these objectives are achieved, the EC will remain an area dependent on the outside world for approximately 50 percent of its energy needs in the mid-1980s.

Obama's energy policy
In: https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:ceeb107d-49dd-45fa-b4a0-4f4bc6866ca6
In an interview with Time Magazine in December, President Obama made the bold assertion that '[t]he United States is going to be a net exporter of energy because of new technologies and what we're doing with natural gas and oil.' Although he did not place a timescale on this prediction or specify what new technologies he meant, his comment reflects a radical shift that has been taking place in US energy policy thinking. The largest single cause of the shift has been the boom in US unconventional oil and gas production over the last six years. Domestic natural gas production is at record levels, averaging 65.9 bcf/d in 2012, while total oil production exceeded the 10 mb/d mark in October, for the first time in over 20 years. The rapid growth in production has led to speculation, in Washington and among market analysts, that the USA might achieve energy independence. No longer relying on imports, particularly from Middle Eastern countries, holds strong political appeal, especially when it offers additional domestic jobs in oil and gas production and an improved balance of trade. However, despite the positive outlook for US production, there are several factors limiting the prospects for America's energy exports.

The energy policy of the Republic of Senegal ; The energy policy of the Republic of Senegal: Evaluation and Perspectives
In 2014, Senegal adopted an accelerated economic development plan called the "Plan Sénégal Emergent" (PSE), or Emerging Senegal Plan (ESP), which rightly relies on the development of the energy sector, among others. The country's energy policy has therefore been revised, in agreement with the ESP, to define a clear vision, with specific objectives and a well-developed strategy. However, its energy consumption was only 0.27 toe, including 230 kWh of electricity, and generated 0.54 tCO2 per capita in 2016. These figures are obviously low and symptomatic of a low-energy economy, characteristic of a developing country. Nevertheless, Senegal's energy consumption has been growing rapidly at + 3.6% / year on average, since 2000, due to the combined effects of economic and demographic growths. In addition, significant offshore oil and gas reserves have recently been discovered in the country, which first production is expected to start in 2021. All of these elements raise a fundamental question: how can a developing country like Senegal, deprived of natural resources since always, succeed in supporting its economic emergence through an ambitious and low-emission energy policy while exploiting its new oil and gas resources? The purpose of this study is therefore to analyze the relevance of Senegal's current energy policy with regards to its ambitions for economic emergence and vis-à-vis the main challenges facing the country like energy independence and security of supply in the face of growing demand, universal access to affordable electricity, and climate change. To do this, the study was divided into 3 parts. The first presents an overview of the country, including its macroeconomic fundamentals. The second details its energy policy, including its objectives, the strategies deployed, and the institutional and regulatory frameworks that underpin it. The third is a detailed critical analysis of this policy, starting with an evaluation of the results and ending with suggestions for improvement.
