The European Commission has unveiled a comprehensive plan to drive the sustainable transition of the energy sector and enhance industrial competitiveness in Europe. The plan focuses on boosting sustainable and resilient production through strategies like affordable energy and financing. Efforts are underway to simplify State aid rules, increase the attractiveness of clean energy production, and explore funding avenues for grid development. Notably, the Commission plans to clarify rules for low carbon hydrogen production, allocate funds under the Hydrogen Bank, and establish a Hydrogen Mechanism to facilitate connections between stakeholders. Several actions scheduled for 2025 aim to achieve efficient network charges, decouple retail electricity bills from gas prices, accelerate energy transition through permitting and grid modernization, and promote flexibility in retail contracts. The plan also includes initiatives to boost supply and demand of decarbonized products, mobilize public and private finance, secure access to resources, and strengthen the single market for waste and reusable materials.
