How did Europe’s gas and electricity prices fall after the highs of last year?
With the war raging on our continent, we had to take measures to protect people from high #energy prices.
It was the beginning of #REPowerEU plan, which meant:
- increasing gas reserves,
- saving energy consumption,
- purchasing gas jointly,
working with reliable partners like Norway and the United States,
- Increasing the deployment of renewables across the #EU.
Our #EUDataCrunch depicts its singular impact.

EU policies have a real impact.
Here are some examples we'd like to share with you:
The EU-funded Infineon chips fab in Germany will create over 1,000 new skilled #jobs.
➤ Green Deal Industrial Plan
France's newly opened, first gigafactory in Billy-Berclau received €1.3 bn in #EU funding.
The EU’s biggest geothermal heating system in Szeged, Hungary, provides affordable #energy to over 28,000 households.

Renewable energy is our green light for a better future.
On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we mark our clean energy achievements of 2022:
⚡ generating, for the first time, more electricity from wind and solar sources than from gas
☀️ increasing wind and solar energy capacity by 16%
🌍 setting the target for the share of renewables in our energy mix to 42.5% by 2030
The green transition is already underway.
#WorldEnvironmentDay #EUGreenDeal #RepowerEU
We have stood up in unity and solidarity to regain our energy independence, cut Russian fossil fuel imports, and support Ukraine.
This was possible thanks to the efforts of EU citizens and companies embracing #REPowerEU.
In one year, we have diversified our supply, scaled up renewables, and saved energy to rapidly move away from Russian fossil fuel imports.
Our job is not done, but we are more resolute and united than ever, and better prepared to face next winter.

Putin’s energy blackmail has failed.
One year after presenting #REPowerEU, we have reduced our dependency on Russian gas by three-quarters.
Everyone has played their part in building a more independent 🇪🇺 and we are more united and stronger than ever in preparing for next winter.
#Energy wise, the #EU has made it clear since the renewed #Russianinvasion of 2022 that it wants to achieve complete #independence from #RussianEnergy . It introduced #REPowerEU and several visits to #Azerbaijan have been made in order to ensure #gas imports for the EU.
The EU needs to ensure #stability and #peace in the #SouthCaucasus region in order to safeguard long-term ventures and to mitigate risks to its #diversification goals.

From choosing the best location for wind turbines to understanding how dust storms might impact solar energy production, the free data and services provided by the #EUSpace Programme are key enablers of Europe’s energy transition.
22% of the EU’s energy is renewable. The #REPowerEU initiative seeks to double this in just a few years, learn how #EUSpace helps flip from today’s fossil fuel-based energy system to one based on renewables.

🇪🇺EU member states and the @EU_Commission have agreed to repeat last year's 15% gas savings target in 2023.
While necessary, this emergency measure won't put the EU on track for the structural gas reduction by 2030 of the #RePowerEU plan.

The EC's analysis concludes that continuing 15% #gasreduction would be sufficient to achieve the 90% #gasstorage filling rate by end of Oct-23.
Reducing ⚡️ consumption may also help to stabilise #energyprices at lower levels.

Consumers are at the heart of our electricity market reform.
Today we proposed a reform of the EU electricity market to reduce the impact of gas on electricity bills. It would:
🔹 Boost renewable energy investments
🔹 Better protect and empower EU consumers
🔹 Enhance the competitiveness of the EU industry
By accelerating renewables and phasing out fossil fuels, we can create a secure, affordable electricity market design that is fit for the future.

We have to admit all techs will be needed, we will definitely need #hydrogen. Long term strategy should focus on #renewablehydrogen which will make us independent from foreign fuels and I welcome #REPowerEU which will give us a step towards EU resilience

Russia’s energy blackmail has failed.
Thanks to the efforts of EU citizens and businesses, we have cut our gas use by 19%. And our gas storage is still filled at 62%.
We are phasing out Russian pipeline gas by diversifying our energy supplies. In 2022, our LNG imports have increased by 68% compared to 2021.
And we are massively investing in renewables to produce clean energy in Europe.
With European unity and a smart energy policy, we are strengthening our energy independence.
RePower EU ruft zu “technologischer Innovation und industriellem Wandel” in ganz Europa auf
Die Europäische Kommission hat den "Green Deal Industrial Plan" angekündigt, eine Initiative, die die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der EU im Bereich der Netto-Null-Emissionen steigern und den Übergang zur Klimaneutralität beschleunigen soll.
