Happy to be at the start of the Just Transition Conference organized by @eu2023.es with @Teresaribera and @MarosSefcovic in Ponferrada! Will discuss the transformation of coal region today and tomorrow !
Rolling out #heatpumps is central to the clean #energytransition & to achieve carbon neutrality in line with the #EUGreenDeal goals.
Today, the EC 🇪🇺 launched a call for evidence on a heat pumps action plan. It is open for feedback until 26/5/2023 ➡️ https://t.co/YwekavURk0
Listening to inspiring speeches from @P_Graichen and @MWorsdorfer highlighting the need to deploy RE much faster to address the crises we are facing: climate, energy, and economic.
The 🆕 EU-wide public database, referred to as #EPREL, is launched! It enables #EUconsumers to compare the #energyefficiency ⚡️ of household products carrying the 🇪🇺#energylabel, thus helping citizens to better choices & to #saveenergy 👏🏼

Cutting red tape, accelerating permitting & providing incentives for faster renewables deployment are some of the most important actions governments can take to address the current energy crisis & climate challenges the world faces
@IEA's new report ⬇️ https://t.co/ZCTzwLcx3w
Global renewable power is set for another year of record growth in 2022, adding 320 gigawatts of new capacity as governments take advantage of renewables' energy security & climate benefits
The largest growth is in China, EU & Latin America.

Lithuania 🇱🇹 continues to move towards energy independence. Today, the €500 million gas interconnector (GIPL) between Lithuania 🇱🇹 and Poland 🇵🇱, which is more than 500 km long, comes into operation.
Glad to receive from #ACER the Assessment of the #EU Wholesale Electricity Market Design Report. @eu_acer has delivered a timely report, reflecting the broad consensus of the #EU regulators on the benefits of an integrated electricity market and on ways to make it future-proof.
🔴 EU energy situation in the context of the war in #Ukraine : extraordinary meeting of the 🇪🇺 ministers in charge of energy on Monday 2 May.
#EU2022FR#TTE
The Gas Coordination Group this morning strongly confirmed #Europeansolidarity in securing #gas supplies.
EC has been working with 🇪🇺 countries to ensure diversified deliveries of gas & storage to be prepared for such scenario. #securityofsupply
The need for clean energy has never been more pressing.
Our planet is heating up, while energy demand is on the rise.
And we have to switch to secure, reliable energy supplies.
This is why initiatives like @isolaralliance are so important.

🗣 “The IEA showed a direction, and offered solid analysis & data to back this up … Today’s 10-point plan can play a similar role in the European debate on energy security”
@EU_Commission’s @KadriSimson at the launch of our 10-Point Plan. Watch it back: https://t.co/BD4MkV0DR8
[#PFUE] Nos remerciements vont également à @MWorsdorfer, directrice adjointe de la direction générale de l'énergie (ENER), qui a rappelé l’importance pour l’Europe de renforcer sa souveraineté énergétique.

"The aim of the Solar Strategy is to speed up deployment & solve permitting & other issues. We want the consumer as part of the solution and the 🇪🇺 industry to speed up.
We want a maximum of #solar power in this decade and as soon as possible."
-@MWorsdorfer#SolarPowerSummit
Great exchange of views with @MWorsdorfer@Energy4Europe on Gas Storage earlier today in @EP_Industry. It's not about new legal provisions-it's about gas for our citizens for next winter. #EP is committed to start negotiations immediately-we hope the Council shares this approach.
🗣 “Energy efficiency can reduce fuel import dependence, lessen exposure to energy price volatility & contribute to climate change mitigation”
Our new commentary explores how efficiency measures can deliver energy savings quickly amid market turmoil 👉 https://t.co/gkUC5Ga0t6
But to drive prices down and enhance our energy security in the longer-term, we have to look at the root cause of the price spike.
Namely high and volatile gas prices and their impact on electricity prices.
