In recent months, the European Union has been facing high and volatile energy prices. After Russia’s unprecedented military attack on Ukraine, security of supply concerns exacerbate the situation. The new geopolitical and energy market reality requires us to drastically accelerate the clean energy transition and increase Europe's energy independence from unreliable suppliers and volatile fossil fuels. The European Commission has proposed an outline of a plan to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030, starting with gas. “REPowerEU” will seek to diversify gas supplies, speed up the roll-out of renewable gases and replace gas in heating and power generation.
In this context, the European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, DG GROW, organised the EU Clusters Talk “REPowerEU: Energy solutions and industrial competitiveness” on 13 April 2022, to present the plan and to talk with cluster and industry representatives about energy solutions, possible bottlenecks, and proposals for the effective implementation of the plan.
