In the transition into a new phase, we invite EU countries to increase:
➕vaccination
➕monitoring and tracing
➕testing
➕recovery of healthcare systems
➕coordination of travel rules
➕next generation of vaccines and therapeutics
➕digitalisation
This can reduce EU demand for Russian gas by two thirds before the end of the year.
2️⃣ Transformation
REPowerEU will reduce faster our dependence on fossil fuels by:
💨tripling wind capacities by 2030
🌞accelerating the rollout of rooftop solar PV systems
🔋innovating hydrogen-based solutions
📝enabling faster permitting for renewable energy projects
We simply cannot rely on a supplier who explicitly threatens us.
We will end our overdependence on Russian gas by diversifying gas supplies and reducing faster the use of fossil fuels in our homes, buildings, industry, and power systems.
Uncertainty on supply is rising pressure on energy prices in Europe.
To stop it and secure our gas supply, EU countries will be required to ensure that underground gas storage is filled up to at least 90% of its capacity by 1 October each year.
