The Nordic energy ministers present a new Nordic energy policy co-operation programme for the period 2018–2021. The vision for Nordic energy co-operation is to develop Nordic energy systems through strong, trust-based, adaptable co-operation in order to secure the world’s most integrated and intelligent low-emission green economy, characterised by security of supply and a high level of competitiveness. Nordic energy co-operation in the period 2018–2021 will specifically address the following areas: • Further development of the Nordic electricity market • Renewable energy • Energy efficiency • Exchange of information and dialogue on the Nordic countries’ energy policies and strategies • Energy research and innovation, via Nordic Energy Research • The Nordic Region in Europe, including implementation of the EU Energy Union • Neighbouring countries, particularly the Baltic states • Energy-related transport issues • The energy sector in the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland • Other horizontal programmes and projects, as well as international co-operation.
