Tender Results of European Commission, Directorate General For Energy Ener , Ener Tf 1 Diversification Strategy And Joint Purchasing

The scope of the study is to analyse the work of the EU Energy Platform, the lessons learned, its impact on the market and security of supply and how the functioning of the joint purchasing mechanism (JPM) could be adapted if it becomes a more permanent instrument. The study will also analyse the future possible uses of the JPM for example for (but not limited to) renewable hydrogen or natural gas originating from supply chains with low methane emissions and how this could be organised. In particular, it will cover the various ways of organisation of companies to take part in JPM, including different kinds of consortia or cooperative arrangements and considering the risks and existing legal and market frameworks.
