Highlights
On 11 September, the European Commission published the ‘State of the Energy Union 2024’ report, which presents the challenges and progress made in the European energy landscape over the past year.
The report highlights the EU’s progress on energy security and the transition to clean energy, despite geopolitical crises. It recognises challenges such as energy poverty and the need for more ambitious renewable energy and energy efficiency targets, and calls for greater coordination between Member States to achieve climate and energy goals by 2030.
Launched on 9 September, Mario Draghi’s report addresses several important transformations that Europe needs to face in order to maintain its global competitiveness. The energy sector is seen as a central pillar in guaranteeing Europe’s future competitiveness, requiring a coordinated effort in innovation, sustainability and public policies to ensure both energy security and economic growth.
