Abstract

This Commentary presents preliminary key messages and recommendations of the CEPS Task Force on "The Strategic Energy Technology Plan: From Concept to Practice", Taking the form of an "open letter", it aims to express the views of the Task Force members in the run-up to the meeting of the Energy and Innovation European Council on 4 February 2011. It argues that a successful innovation policy needs an efficient Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan. Otherwise, the members of the Task Force warn that the SET Plan risks becoming simply another toothless EU policy.
