The annual State of the Energy Union report, together with its accompanying reports, is an important instrument to take stock of the EU’s progress towards the objectives of the Energy Union 4 and the clean energy transition in line with the energy and climate targets. This year’s report looks back at how the EU reacted towards unprecedented crises and challenges during the current Commission’s mandate and considers remaining challenges.
The report is structured in three parts. The first part describes how the high climate and environmental ambitions under the European Green Deal provided the basis for the EU’s crisis response strategy and a strategy for growth and competitiveness. The second part analyses the state of play in the implementation of the Energy Union in all its five dimensions based on the Commission’s assessment of Member State progress reports on their national energy and climate plans (NECPs). The last part points to future challenges for the EU energy system and energy policy.
Together with this report, a set of accompanying reports as set out below is published. They provide a more in-depth assessment of the progress of the Energy Union’s initiatives across its five dimensions and the clean energy transition.
