Extreme weather harms human health, nature and the economy. Over the last few decades, Europe has witnessed more extreme weather events; from droughts, heatwaves and forest fires to violent storms and flash flooding. While no single extreme weather event can be blamed solely on climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) makes …
EU gas and electricity markets from January to March 2025 proved their continued resilience as they ensured stable and secure energy supplies with important milestones on both markets. For electricity, while the wind sector and hydropower faced unfavourable conditions, solar power generation reached 45 TWh, a record level for the first quarter – some 30% higher …
The European Commission and the European Investment Bank announced that €3.66 billion have been disbursed from the Modernisation Fund to support 34 energy related projects in nine EU Member States. These investments will support the modernisation of energy systems in the EU. They will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the energy, industry and transport sectors, and improve …

START, the technical assistance facility of the European Commission’s Initiative for coal regions in transition has come to an end after 6 years, leaving tangible results for many regions transitioning to clean energy. Since its inception in 2019, START has successfully undertaken 18 assignments covering 14 coal, lignite, peat and oil shale regions (so-called ‘coal+’ regions) in …
The Commission has published a call for evidence on a new energy label for low temperature emitting radiators. Such radiators are designed to minimise energy consumption while ensuring optimal heating. This 4-week call is part of the preparation for a possible delegated regulation to develop such an energy label, with the intention of finalising these rules by the …

Scaling up renewable electricity sources across the EU could reduce electricity generation costs, improve energy independence, and support the transition towards clean industry, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report published today. At the same time, accelerating the electrification of heating, transport and industry is needed to support Europe’s clean and competitive future. The …
The European Commission has adopted a new State Aid Framework in support of the Clean Industry Pact (CISAF), enabling Member States to promote clean energy development, industrial decarbonisation, and clean technologies. CISAF sets the conditions under which Member States can provide support for certain investments and objectives in line with EU state aid rules. Under …

In the first quarter of 2025, 42.5% of net electricity generated in the EU came from renewable energy sources. Compared with the first quarter of 2024, this represents a 4.3 percentage points (pp) decrease (from 46.8%). The significant increase in electricity generation from solar (from 40.9 TWh in the first quarter 2024 to 55 TWh in the first quarter 2025) …
