The Directorate-General for Energy organises with the Commission Representations in selected EU countries dialogues that offer national stakeholders the opportunity to exchange on key energy-related topics with Commission representatives.
The first dialogues took place in 2021 in the context of the new legislative package aiming to reduce emissions by at least 55% by 2030. The package covers a wide range of policy areas, including energy efficiency, renewables, energy performance of buildings and more.
These topics became even more relevant in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine early 2022. The Commission's communication REPowerEU: Joint European Action for more affordable, secure and sustainable energy action for more affordable, secure and sustainable energy, published on 8 March, focuses on security of supply, energy prices and gas storage, which will be addressed in the stakeholders dialogues planned for 2022.
