2022 State of the Energy Union report highlights challenges
The 2022 State of the Energy Union report has been published by the Commission today, highlighting the challenges that the energy sector has faced in the past 12 months and the progress made in addressing both these exceptional circumstances in the short-term and Europe’s long-term climate goals.
In particular, this seventh edition of the report takes stock of the EU’s energy policy response to the current energy crisis, exacerbated by Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine. 2022 has seen turbulence in energy markets, price volatility and energy insecurity across the world, which has had a huge impact on the EU’s energy system. To reflect the new geopolitical realities and to address the need for affordable, secure and sustainable energy for Europe, the EU and EU countries are reshaping and accelerating their energy and climate strategies.
