Commenting on today’s Communication on the Energy Union Strategy, EPIA’s President Oliver Schäfer said: “All five dimensions the Commission has defined for the Energy Union require a clear solution: Europe needs to put renewables like solar power at the heart of its energy policy.”

Frauke Thies, EPIA’s Policy Director added: “Now the Commission should follow up words with action. Europe needs an adapted energy market that boosts rather than hampers the energy transition and empowers consumers to access and control affordable, clean and secure energy.”
