The creation of an Energy Union can play a major role in tackling our collective energy and climate challenges, supporting the economic recovery and building a more competitive Europe.

Now is the time to translate the Commission’s Strategy into concrete results by completing the Internal Energy Market, securing diversity of energy supply and infrastructure, promoting energy efficiency and delivering on the EU's climate change ambitions.
