Le 14 mars 2023, la Commission a proposé une réforme du marché de l’électricité pour réduire la volatilité des prix pour les consommateurs et améliorer les conditions d’investissement dans les énergies à faible intensité de carbone. En décembre 2023, les colégislateurs sont parvenus à un accord provisoire sur la proposition visant à améliorer l’organisation du marché de l’électricité de l’UE. Le Parlement européen va maintenant mettre aux voix le texte convenu au cours de la période de session d’ ...

Due to the recent energy crisis, there is a growing focus on renewable energy sources within the European Union (EU) as a possible solution to challenges such as energy security and high prices. The 2023 Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requires the EU to achieve a 42.5 % share of renewable energy sources (RES) in gross final energy consumption by 2030. As of 2022, the EU has reached a 23 % share of renewables in its energy consumption. In analysing the EU’s energy landscape, it is crucial to note ...

La réforme du marché de l’électricité proposée à la suite de la crise énergétique comprend une proposition visant à améliorer la transparence du marché de l’énergie, à renforcer le rôle des organismes de régulation et à garantir une protection contre les manipulations de marché. En novembre 2023, les colégislateurs sont parvenus à un accord provisoire. Le Parlement européen devrait mettre aux voix le texte convenu au cours de la période de session de février II 2024.

Renewable energy plays a crucial role in the context of EU climate targets and energy security needs. Wind energy will be central to accelerating the roll-out of renewables and the green transition outlined in the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU plan. In 2022, the total installed wind power capacity in the EU reached 204 GW (gigawatts), most of which was onshore (92 %). The European Commission estimates that new EU target of at least 42.5 % renewable energy in energy consumption by 2030 will ...

On 14 March 2023, the European Commission proposed a reform of the EU electricity market, with the aim of reducing price volatility for consumers and creating favourable conditions for investors in low-carbon energy. The reform includes two legislative proposals – one on electricity market design (EMD) and the other on protection against wholesale energy market manipulation (REMIT). The reform would improve consumer protection by offering more fixed-price contracts and enhancing supplier obligations ...

On 14 July 2021 the European Commission adopted the 'fit for 55' package, which adapts existing climate and energy legislation to meet the new EU objective of a minimum 55 % reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. The 'fit for 55' package is part of the European Green Deal, which aims to put the EU firmly on the path towards climate neutrality by 2050. A key element in the 'fit for 55' package is the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), to help the EU deliver the new ...

Energy is central to the European Union's transition towards climate neutrality by 2050, in line with the European Green Deal. As the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union (EU), the energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation on the path to a net-zero economy. The shift to a more sustainable energy system entails switching from fossil fuels to low-carbon and renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency in products, industry and buildings, and creating ...

The revised Renewable Energy Directive sets a target of a 42.5 % share of renewables in EU energy consumption by 2030, with additional targets for sectors such as transport, buildings, industry, and heating and cooling.

The Social Climate Fund will support the most vulnerable citizens and companies affected by the extension of the EU emissions trading system (ETS) to the buildings and road transport sectors. It can be used for direct income support and investments in energy efficiency-related building renovations and sustainable transport.

In the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing energy crisis, the EU has undertaken a number of steps to develop its energy infrastructure. These included diversifying import routes, developing energy networks and improving cross-border interconnections. The EU legislative framework on energy infrastructure is based on the Regulation on trans-European networks for energy (TEN E). It sets out guidelines for EU cross-border infrastructure, including projects of common interest (PCIs ...
