Who are the most influential MEPs on energy policy?

The European Commission launched its new legislative (Winter) package in December 2016 that will substantially reform the energy market of the European Union. However, in order for these ideas to be transposed into actual EU law, they must first pass through the democratic filter of the European Parliament and the Council.

This analysis looks into who are the Members of the European Parliament that are currently exerting the greatest influence on energy-related issues and who are likely to be the spearheads in shaping the newly released dossiers.

The study also shows which national groups are currently holding the strings of power in the European Parliament and, at the other end, which ones have still to use their full influence potential.
