Small changes in our energy usage can also have a positive impact.
When paired with efficiency measures, they can impact prices and reduce our energy bills.
With the #REPowerEU Plan, we are also stepping up our emergency preparedness.

EU leaders agreed in Versailles to phase out our dependency on Russian fossil fuels as soon as possible.
But this requires a plan: This is #REPowerEU.
It has 4 pillars:
✅Saving energy
✅Diversifying away from 🇷🇺 fossil fuels
✅Massive investment in renewable energy
✅Financing

RT @vonderleyen: I am glad that tonight leaders agreed in principle on the sixth sanctions package. This is an important step forward.

The Russian troops are bombing Ukrainian fields, not allowing for the sowing of crops, looting food stocks and blocking Ukraine’s ports.
The consequences are well known. Food and fertilizer prices are skyrocketing in many parts of the world.

Russia is weaponising its energy supplies, with global repercussions.
🤝 #REPowerEU will enable us to phase out Russia's fossil fuels while building mutually beneficial international partnerships.
And our REPowerUkraine initiative will help rebuild Ukraine's energy system.

We have to diversify away from fossil fuels.
It is good for the climate, but it is also good for our independence and security of energy supply.
With #REPowerEU, we take our #EUGreenDeal ambition to another level.

We are reducing dependency on Russia for our energy needs.
With the EU Energy Platform, EU countries will be able to jointly purchase gas, LNG & hydrogen, to the benefit of all countries.
This will help secure our energy supply at affordable prices.
This will #REPowerEU.

Hydrogen is an important part of the solution for hard-to-decarbonise sectors. #REPowerEU plans to roll out this technology faster.
This week we launched a public consultation to complete our proposal for a regulatory framework for renewable hydrogen.

Renewable hydrogen is the new frontier of Europe's energy network.
With #REPowerEU, we are doubling our domestic hydrogen production target.
By this summer, the first EU-wide hydrogen projects will be approved.

Solar energy is at the heart of #REPowerEU, our plan to phase out Russian fossil fuels.
We are proposing a solar rooftop obligation for:
commercial & public buildings by 2025
new residential buildings by 2029
More than half of our solar energy could come from rooftops by 2030.
