Kadri Simson @KadriSimson@respublicae.eu

Back in Brussels & happy to start my day with an important debate on the current outlook of the 🇪🇺 #energy market six months after coming forward with the #REPowerEU plan to eliminate our dependency on Russian fossil fuels.

Thank you, @Ambrosetti_ Club Europe for the discussion.

I had the honour to participate in the @CCACoalition Ministerial at #COP27 & launch the Global Methane Assessment Baseline Report.

It is an extremely useful tool to establish where we are & what will happen if we do not act.

Thank you, @cleanaircatf, for our conversation at #COP27

A great opportunity to talk about EU progress on diversifying energy imports & new partnerships.

The energy crisis has not changed our plans with #EUGreenDeal. It is clearer than ever that we need to step up our efforts!

Very good first meeting with @DiegoPardow, Minister for Energy of Chile at #COP27

The #EU🇪🇺 considers #Chile 🇨🇱 a key partner in Latin America with shared values.

We discussed reinforcing our cooperation on #hydrogen & preparation for the EU-Latin America Summit.

Continuing at #COP27 with great discussion on the #cleanenergytransition as a solution for climate action & #biodiversity.

This is at the heart of the #EU green agenda.

#EUGreenDeal goal is not only to reach climate-neutrality, but also to implement the “do no harm” principle.

RT @Energy4Europe: At #COP27 today, the EU🇪🇺 and Egypt🇪🇬 have taken a further step to boost their long-term cooperation on the clean #energytransition by establishing a strategic partnership on #renewablehydrogen and preparing the ground for a #JustTransition in Egypt. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_6925

Our work will look at the #hydrogen infrastructure & financing needs, transport solutions, as well as regulatory issues.

And it will contribute to setting up a global framework for a rules-based market for hydrogen!

Historic moment in Egypt!

The #EU 🇪🇺&🇪🇬 #Egypt have just signed a Memorandum of Understanding on a strategic partnership on renewable #hydrogen👇

Russian attacks on civilian #energy infrastructure in #Ukraine are inhumane & have left 10 million people without energy.

As 🇷🇺 ramps up its aggression, the EU ramps up its support. Had a coordination call with 🇺🇦&🇪🇺 ministers this morning, grateful to UK & Norway for joining.

RT @vonderleyen: Alarmed by reports of an explosion in Poland, following a massive Russian missile strike on Ukrainian cities.

I extend my condolences and my strongest message of support and solidarity with Poland and our Ukrainian friends.

Energy security⚡️ & climate action🍀are not competing, they reinforce each other.

All the ambition we put into achieving our #climate commitments will simultaneously increase our resilience & #securityofsupply.

Talking this & more at the German 🇩🇪 Pavilion of the #COP27

I met w/ @ClaudioFacchin_, CEO of @hitachienergy, to discuss situation in #Ukraine & the need to secure vital energy equipment.

Hitachi already has a team working on it. We discussed how we can coordinate & speed up help.

Thank you for the talk & the work you are doing for 🇺🇦

Thank you @HitachiGlobal for the chance to discuss with the industry what we need to do to deliver #REPowerEU & to address #energysecurity without compromising our #energytransition goals.

#COP27 is packed with important discussions, but clearly #energy is on everyone’s mind.

A good discussion at #COP27 #EnergyDay⚡️with @SecGranholm, Commissioner @HEDrAbouZeid, minister Fouad, minister Mwenze-Mukaleng, @flacamera & Stefano Innocenzi on how we will deliver clean #energy at the time of crisis.

Yesterday was #GenderDay at #Cop27

In the #EU🇪🇺 energy team, it is gender day every day!

Always a pleasure to meet my U.S.🇺🇸 counterpart @SecGranholm!

At the margins of #COP27 , we discussed the energy situation in the #EU🇪🇺 & the world🌍, especially #securityofsupply & how we can jointly help #Ukraine🇺🇦, whose energy system is under Russian attack.

#Spain has a very ambitious 74% #renewableenergy target for 2030 & saw a 9% growth in #wind & #solar generation & a stunning 24% growth specifically for solar☀️ since the start of this year.

Welcome to #EnergyDay at #COP27

#Energy is central to winning the fight against #climatechange.

A just & fair transition is an opportunity for all nations & #renewableenergy can be a great leveller, as #wind & #solar resources are much more widely available than oil & gas.
