In 10 days the @EU_Commission will present a proposal for the electricity market reform.

What can we expect?

We will be posting a daily question on some of the key issues which need to be tackled in this reform.

Stay tuned!

Electricity prices in the EU are set by the most expensive energy source (normally gas) … even if renewables are much cheaper!

We need an energy model that works for people and climate, not corporate profit!

For over a year the energy crisis has hit badly families and small businesses in Europe.

In the meanwhile, big energy corporations and fossil fuel companies have been making record profits!

This must end!

The energy crisis is threatening women’s livelihoods, health, & wellbeing. 

Feminist approaches to the energy transition are fundamental to guarantee women's rights but also to create a new energy model that works for women, for all people & for the planet!

This energy crisis is not the result of random circumstances, it is the direct outcome of political choices.

Decades of privatisation have led a vastly unequal energy model, with millions of people forced to choose between heating or eating.

Data from @etuc_ces indicates that the average annual energy bill is now more than a month’s wages for low paid workers in the majority of EU member states.

The top 10% of global energy consumers currently use around 30 times more energy than the bottom 10%.

We urgently need fair energy savings plans which can reduce the energy consumption gap

Over the past year a volatile energy market has wreaked havoc upon the livelihoods of people in Europe, while Big Energy companies were raking in billions.

This is the direct result of leaving access to energy in the hands of the market.

@sirarego @mmatias_ @ErnstCornelia @DFIeurope @dieLinkeEP @IUEuropa @RightToEnergy To be energy independent the EU must drop fossil fuels!

So why does it continue to rely on the advice of Big Energy for its policy? Isn't that like asking Marlboro for advice to stop smoking?
