Decarbonisation of the power system is key for #energytransition.
The EU has made huge strides in decarbonising the power system & today, more than 40% of the electricity produced in 🇪🇺 comes from #renewables.
Wonderful discussion today on it with a high-level group at #CEM14 https://t.co/m90X5X4VaO

The EU & US cooperation in energy has grown closer over the past few years in the #energycrisis.
In my meeting today with @SecGranholm we discussed the road to #COP28 & mainly the need to increase global targets for #renewableenergy & #energyefficiency. We have no time to lose. https://t.co/Yexh3qNtF2

Investment in innovative new technologies today changes the energy landscapes of tomorrow.
This was my message at the #CEM14& #MissionInnovation plenary.
We need to work together towards🌍targets for #energyefficiency & #renewables & renew our focus on supporting #cleanenergy. https://t.co/GenP6yrDXe

Re Speeding up the deployment of #renewableenergy was already a European 🇪🇺priority, but with the #REPowerEU plan, it got a new dimension in terms of securing our #energy needs, building a more resilient system & phasing out dependency on 🇷🇺 fossil fuels. https://t.co/lPLEAmGns5

The #EUCELACSummit helps us advance energy cooperation between 🇪🇺& Latin America.
Today #EU & #Chile signed a new partnership on critical raw materials, supporting 🇨🇱 in its #cleanenergytransition.
I met with @DiegoPardow, 🇨🇱 Minister of Energy, to discuss our collaboration. https://t.co/9Y2Na9V9r6

We have concluded the informal #TTE council in Valladolid🇪🇸 & have laid a strong basis for further steps, notably at the upcoming #G20 meeting & #COP28.
Extremely important months ahead, working on the #ElectricityMarketDesign reform, global targets for #energytransition & more. https://t.co/295eluw5HY

The informal #TTE council in 🇪🇸 continued today with an in-depth discussion of the need to avoid new dependencies in our #energytransition & on ensuring #securityofsupply of #CriticalRawMaterials. We also exchanged on digitalising the #energy market, interconnectors & storage. https://t.co/cMedwvKZz6

Welcome, Theodore Skylakakis, new minister for energy of #Greece🇬🇷!
Good first contact & glad to hear your views of the overall #energy situation in the region. Thank you for a rich discussion, that included #hydrogen, buildings #renovation, interconnections and much more. https://t.co/RXWjNUk1ET

Good exchange of views at the informal #TTE in 🇪🇸 on what to expect from #COP28 & #climate & energy agenda communication.
The world needs a collective objective on #energytransition. This is why we are proposing a global pledge on #renewableenergy & #energyefficiency for #COP28. https://t.co/x2pgMZHSfg

Greetings from Valladolid 🇪🇸 & the informal #TTE energy council.
I started my day with a good first interaction with the new Finnish 🇫🇮 minister of Climate and the Environment, @KaiMykkanen.
Our exchange focused on #renewableenergy & #greenhydrogen, along with nuclear. https://t.co/R9TEBrM7DM

Good news. The #EuropeanParliament has just voted for the Energy Efficiency Directive final trilogue agreement.
#EnergyEfficiency is crucial for a cost efficient #greentransition. It helps to keep the energy bills & investment costs in check. Well done!
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Niels Fuglsang: Solid majority for the EUs new Energy Efficiency Directive that I have negotiated as rapporteur.
The directive sets a binding 11.7 percent target for reduction in final energy consumption by 2030.
I am proud of this victory for Europe and for the climate 💪🏻 https://t.co/X4xV46hfxH

Glad to be in 🇪🇸 for the informal #TTE Council.
I start with a joint meeting with @Teresaribera &amp; @Eurelectric to discuss #ElectricityMarketDesign reform. The reform is key to boost #renewables &amp; ensure affordable electricity. We work with the Presidency to ensure broad support. https://t.co/K4hUYArH0a

I visited today @FluxysGroup construction site of their dual-purpose pipeline. This #hydrogen-ready pipeline will be part of new EU-wide hydrogen corridors, which will connect industrial hubs across the EU &amp; help to decarbonise refineries, chemical sites, steel production &amp; more. https://t.co/D4UuuBweMW

The @PortofAntBruges can be a major decarbonisation hub of tomorrow, with multiple projects on #renewablehydrogen &amp; #CCUS.
A quick deployment of #hydrogen projects, as witnessed in the port today, will be fundamental for the success of the #EUGreenDeal.

Speaking at 1st ever @Eurogas_Eu #renewablegases conference.
The road ahead is clear. Renewable gases hold so much potential for #decarbonisation, #energysupply &amp; our competitiveness. We have a responsibility to facilitate transition of the sector towards a new sustainable world. https://t.co/WOOYnmkCaC

Important exchanges of views in the #OPECSeminar in Vienna today. Meeting with Energy Ministers from #Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 &amp; Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, also representatives from companies such as #Vitol &amp; #OMV.

Discussing energy sustainability at the 8th #OPECSeminar.
The 🇪🇺 has set-out a clear mission: #climateneutrality by 2050. Last year, Europe was the only actor to reduce its emissions by 2.5%. I believe that oil &amp; gas industry can play a strong role in driving the transition. https://t.co/iuZByIiJFo
