- Abstract
- The Lisbon Treaty gave the European Union a competence to carry out policies in the field of energy in 2008. Yet this competence remains a shared one, acting in a very crowded and competitive policy field, where both State and non-State actors play a key role. This article will discuss the EU authority in this field in light of the European Green Deal and the 2022 energy crisis, using the concept of liquid authority. It will assess the extent to which the EU is capable of causing deference from other actors in energy policy and analyse the effects of crises over authority dynamics in a given policy field.
