Abstract (EN): The process of the use of energy and the generation of electricity is one of the fundamental cornerstones of human activity for the development of society. The different energy sources, their costs and impacts on the environment determine the electricity production process of a territory, its impact on economic development and its competitiveness. Therefore management of the current energy process is focused on the achievement of an acceptable level of energy security and costs, efficiency and environmental respect. Uncertainty remains one of the most complex issues that energy planning must face and internalize. As uncertainty it can be defined as the sum of risk, ignorance and incertitude. It can be managed through the diversification of power generation technologies portfolio. The recent European Commission targets contained in the communication "Towards an European Energy Union: A secure, sustainable, competitive and affordable energy for every European" mark the path for the near future of the EU in terns of energy, technological change and emissions reduction. The study deals with the analysis of the EU goals in terns of power portfolio costs and risks. The economic and environmental implications of the assumption of EU targets are studied.
