German lawmakers back measures to lower electricity costs reut.rs/445oDlJ

European Parliament adopted its position in favour of a 90% emission reduction target by 2040. Its position mirrors the Council's deal. From 2036, 5 percentage points of emissions reductions could come via international carbon credits EU emissions trading system ETS2 to be postponed until 2028

🌍EU 2040 climate target #EPlenary wants a 90% reduction target for emissions by 2040 compared with 1990 levels in EU climate law to achieve a climate neutral EU by 2050 🗳️Votes: ⬆️379⬇️248↔️10 Press release⤵️ www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...

🤝Earlier today, EP negotiators reached a deal on REPowerEU, agreeing in their compromise to ban Russian oil imports as of January 2026 and all gas imports by January 1, 2027. 1/

📍Heads up: a flood of initiatives coming on 25/11, including the European Grids Package & Industrial Accelerator Act

The grid package could be published around 26 November — or one to two weeks later — suggested DG ENER Deputy Director Mechthild Wörsdörfer today before ITRE MEPs. It will include the 2nd PCI/PMI list, guidance on grid connection, and a revision of the TEN-E regulation.

#Draghi doesn’t hold back on EU energy policy: 👉Relaxing rules to subsidise prices “does not fix the structural reasons why energy in 🇪🇺 is so expensive” 👉Grid package & budget “wont cut energy prices quickly” 👉Decoupling gas&elect. prices: “far more decisive action needed”

The consultation on the revision of the energy security framework is out 👉DG ENER is considering a single regulation covering electricity, natural gas, and other energy carriers (e.g. hydrogen). ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

Also in today's speech : "I am presenting today a new initiative called Energy Highways. We have identified eight critical bottlenecks in our energy infrastructure. From the Øresund Strait to the Sicilian Canal. We will now work to remove these bottlenecks one by one" #SOTEU

“The Commission will propose an Industrial Accelerator Act for key strategic sectors and technologies,” said @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu in #SOTEU But where did the word decarbonisation go? It was supposed to be an "Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act"

I know you’re all watching the State of the Union #SOTEU ... but meanwhile: the EU General Court dismisses Austria’s action against the sustainable investment taxonomy. 💣 1/2

On Russian gas ban : "I see very good support for the proposal" " I would be very surprised if there were no countries wishing to discuss this topic in the margins of the informal Energy council", said 🇩🇰 @larsaagaard.bsky.social , Energy and Climate minister representing the EU council presidency

🇩🇰 EU council presidency: A deal on 18 September on the 2040 climate target "is still our aim" - @larsaagaard.bsky.social , DK energy & climate minister at the Informal Energy Council in Copenhagen

🔎⚛️Nuclear reactors make a surprise (?!) entry on the EU Commission’s list of US goods with a 0% tariff in the newly published proposal and annex.

Mark your 🗓️: the ECJ will deliver its long-awaited ruling on Austria’s challenge to the inclusion of gas and nuclear in the EU taxonomy on 10 Sept. A judgment on Hungary’s Paks II state aid case will follow on 11 Sept.

How von der Leyen’s omnibuses drive EU lawmaking "Behind the scenes, frustration is mounting among officials and lawmakers alike, who denounce a top-down process that risks undermining years of work — and shifting the balance of power in Brussels." www.contexte.com/eu/article/e...

Russian gas ban: The deadline for amendments in EP committees has now passed. While we are waiting for the Parliament to publish them, @energy.contexte.com is sharing some of them in today’s newsletter.

📃Proposed Connecting Europe Facility and its €29.9 billion allocated to cross-border Energy projects is now online #MFF ec.europa.eu/transparency...

The methodology for tracking green spending under the proposed #MFF has been uploaded by the Commission. Not only is the financing of new nuclear capacity explicitly listed among the activities to be funded, but its climate ranking is also set at 100% 📄https://t.co/vyBxSEScVk

Five things the new EU budget would mean for energy and climate www.contexte.com/eu/article/e...

🔴 New nuclear energy capacities should be financed through the new Competitiveness Fund, since the fund refers to the NZIA list of technologies.

🔴‼️"We are multiplying the energy infrastructure spending fivefold"

#MFF announcements beginning right now 🎉 @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu announcing €2 trillion budget. Devil will be in the details

Russian nuclear materials import ban: "We are very close to being in a position to put it forward. It will happen shortly", said Energy commissioner Dan Jørgensen

🔴Russian gas ban rapporteurs suggest accelerating phase-out to end all imports in under eighteen months

Today in @contexte.com : the draft regulation "establishing a budget expenditure tracking". Nuclear power capacity building is explicitly listed among the activities eligible for EU funding (with best score for climate performance) A nice doc. from our MFF aficionada @sophdupuy.bsky.social 👏

The European Parliament rejected the request by Renew, the Greens and S&D to use an urgent procedure on the 2040 #climate target. Seems that they didn't counvinced the EPP not to vote with PfE, ESN and ECR 300+, 379-, 8 abstentions.

🔴Low carbon hydrogen delegated act just landed energy.ec.europa.eu/publications...

💣A leaked draft of the upcoming 'competitiveness fund' suggests that the EU budget could be open to financing nuclear technologies.

Delegated act on low carbon H2 to be adopted "soon" said Energy commissioner Dan Jørgensen Could be tomorrow, according to 3 source. "more will come next year, as we will provide further clarity on hydrogen produced from nuclear energy purchased under PPA", also said Jørgensen.

🎁 Thanks @ec.europa.eu for the 6+annexes (🥵) "energy-climate communications" on the same day the 2040 climate target is unveiled 🎁 commission.europa.eu/publications...
