Great discussion to end my 1st day at #COP27 in 🇪🇺 pavilion on renewable #hydrogen trade & partnerships.
Cooperation is the🗝️word going forward.
The #EU is already moving & international commitments, collaborations & partnerships are taking place all over the🌍!

From wind to #solar☀️at #COP27
2022, the year of 🇷🇺 aggression against 🇺🇦, will be a record year for solar PV installations in 🇪🇺, with roughly 40 GW of new capacity.
We are reducing our exposure to price volatility & the weaponisation of energy exports one panel at a time!

The EU has ambitious plans for #windenergy, from the North Sea to the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.
At #COP27 , we discussed how to deliver our goals & what are the obstacles still in our way.

I see the #cleanenergytransition as a catalyst to help us through this #energy crisis, helping the most vulnerable & others alike.
Thank you, #CLGEurope & @UNFCCC for a great discussion on the energy transition at #Cop27

The heaviest burden of rising #energy prices is falling on most vulnerable.
The latest @IEA #WorldEnergyOutlook found that around 75 million people who recently gained access to #electricity would not be able to pay for it. An unacceptable fact we need to address.

#Energyefficiency is a central pillar of EU’s #energy & #climate policy & a key element of the #Fitfor55 initiative.
It is often underappreciated as a tool to cut emissions & tackle the crisis, so highlighting the opportunities energy efficiency brings at #COP27

Honoured to open the 15th European Nuclear Energy Forum in 🇨🇿
