Reporter, Energy

As a Brussels-based journalist since January 2019, I’ve worked for the Brussels office of the Japanese daily newspaper The Asahi Shimbun and freelanced for the “Énergie” and “Pouvoirs” sections at Contexte. I have also collaborated with several other French-language media outlets (Ouest-France, Usine Nouvelle, etc.). I previously worked on the programmes Avenue de l'Europe and Drôle d'Europe for France Télévisions. 


I have a degree from the College of Europe, Bruges, a Master’s in European Governance and Politics, as well as a dual Master’s in Political Communication from Sciences Po Rennes and CELSA (Paris IV Sorbonne). 


I’ve been writing for Contexte’s “Énergie” section in Brussels since January 2020.

Divisive no longer? NuclearEurope pushes for a bigger role in Brussels

Long confined to the margins of EU energy policy, the nuclear industry is trying to find its voice in Brussels. Trade association NuclearEurope is under pressure from its members to raise its profile, modernise its lobbying, and step out of France’s shadow — but overcoming scepticism remains an uphill battle.

Fit for 54: EU says it’s on track for 2030 climate target

The European Commission’s analysis of National Energy and Climate Plans puts the bloc within a whisker of its goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030. The figures are an improvement on a previous December 2023 assessment — but the rosy headline masks significant shortfalls in areas such as transport, buildings and energy efficiency.

Dukovany: How a Czech nuclear plant sparked a diplomatic incident

A multi-billion-euro deal to build two nuclear reactors in southern Czechia, frozen by a Brno court after South Korea’s KHNP outbid EDF, is having significant political consequences. Czech ministers have accused the French state-owned energy company of meddling in their domestic politics in an election year; the involvement as an EU arbiter of Stéphane Séjourné, France’s commissioner in Brussels, has obliged him to deny accusations of national bias. The prospect of an escalating row with Prague has led even some officials in Paris to think the affair might have gone too far, and that EDF might end up being asked to rein itself in.

Low-carbon hydrogen: how a marginal energy source became an explosive political battle

The European Commission’s draft definition of low-carbon hydrogen is being presented to national experts on 19 May. The seemingly dry dossier has prompted significant concerns from the EU’s most powerful member states, and attention from the highest political level. Contexte outlines how a technical argument over secondary legislation has reignited a much more fiery dispute over national energy mixes.

Commissioner Jørgensen promises to simplify EU energy law through sweeping 'omnibus' plan

Brussels will review a swathe of legislation as it seeks to speed up renewable energy permits — an audit extending into sensitive laws designed to protect birds and natural habitats, the European Commission’s top energy official told Contexte. EU energy policy is too often prone to division, but a shifting geopolitical reality should prompt the EU to show unity, Dan Jørgensen said in an interview.

Dan Jørgensen announces an energy omnibus: ‘I'm aware this can be seen as controversial’

As Europe works to reconcile energy security with its climate goals, Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen told Contexte of the tightrope he is walking. In a wide-ranging interview, he defends US LNG imports as a pragmatic necessity, rejects criticism of EU methane rules, and outlines an upcoming “energy omnibus” to slash permitting delays for renewables. He also responds to industry calls for deeper nuclear engagement.
