Energy ministers from across the European Union gathered today for the Transport, Telecommunications, and Energy Council (Energy) meeting to discuss the recently adopted Action Plan for Affordable Energy.
The action plan, which was officially adopted on February 26 as part of the Clean Industrial Deal, outlines key measures aimed at lowering energy costs in the short term, completing the Energy Union, attracting investment, and preparing for potential energy crises.
During the meeting, the European Commission presented the action plan, followed by a public exchange of views among ministers, based on a background note prepared by the Council presidency.
The plan comes at a critical time for Europe, as the region continues to navigate energy price volatility, supply chain challenges, and its transition toward cleaner energy sources.
More details on the specific measures and commitments arising from today’s discussions are expected in the Council’s official post-meeting statement.
