Recent energy crises, characterised by price volatility and geopolitical tensions, have underscored the importance of energy security for modern societies. The Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022 reminded European countries how heavily dependent they are on fossil fuel imports. It emphasises the urgent need to accelerate the shift towards local, low-carbon, and sustainable energy sources.

The clean energy transition, through the adoption of low-carbon energy sources, the acceleration of the electrification and measures to enhance energy performance and reduce energy consumption, offers a direct response to this challenge: it reduces reliance on imports, diversifies the energy mix, and strengthens resilience in times of crisis. In addition, if implemented correctly, it also promotes fairer energy systems with lower bills, improved air quality, local and qualified jobs, etc.
