Energy Market and Consumers

EU ensures energy access and consumer protection, fosters competition in wholesale trading, and addresses energy price surges. Smart grids and meters improve efficiency, while support for EU islands and energy communities promotes sustainable energy. Capacity mechanisms secure long-term supply, energy taxation impacts prices, progress reports track market integration.

The total import bill is more than €1 billion per day.

Research, Technology & Innovation

EU research and innovation for energy is engaged in many directions, from renewables to nuclear energy. from improving efficiency to energy storage.
