„Transitioning to a sustainable energy system is more than a technical project. It is a legal, economic, and societal reorganisation. I am interested in how we can design and apply the rules of this transformation in a way that ensures ambitious emission targets are actually met, without losing sight of the stability and affordability of energy supply.”
