🇪🇺 Two years with #REPowerEU : GRA joined the European Commission to celebrate and accelerate action on #renewables
Bruce Douglas said: ' #REPowerEU shows the power of well guided policy, and the speed and energy security benefits of renewables. If only we had a REPowerGlobal plan!'
Our emergency plan to reduce gas demand across the EU is now in force.
Several Member States have already taken valuable, voluntary measures towards our target:
Together, we aim to reduce gas usage by at least 15%.
Saving energy is vital to Europe's energy security.
#REPowerEU
Europska komisija odobrila je 🇭🇷 državnu potporu od 25 mln € za proširenje LNG terminala na Krku. Dio sredstava će biti osigurano putem #NextGenEU . U ulozi energetskog regionalnog čvorišta za JI Europu Hrvatska pridonosi diversifikaciji opskrbe energijom u skladu s #REPowerEU !
#REPowerEU has delivered on many fronts, but especially in the #renewables sector.
For instance, last year, Europe generated more electricity from wind than from gas, as wind power grew by a record 55 TWh. In 2021 wind constituted 14% in the electricity mix & in 2023 it was 19%.
In May 2022, the EC🇪🇺 adopted the REPowerEU Plan in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It has helped the EU

The REPowerEU plan of 2022 prioritises clean energy production for EU's #EnergySecurity .
In 2022, the EU generated more #electricity from #renewables than from #gas . In 2023, #windpower took over gas in electricity production.

Thanks to EU citizens', businesses' and countries' actions, the EU 🇪🇺 overachieved its voluntary target to reduce gas demand by 15%.
Natural gas demand declined by 18% between Aug-22 & Mar-24, saving 125 bcm of gas as a result👏!

🌱💪The future is green!
Kadri Simson highlights the shift to renewables, projecting 3 million new jobs in the sector by 2030 to meet our #RePowerEU goals.
Ensuring our workforce is ready is crucial. It’s time to skill up Europe! #EuropeanYearOfSkills
#REPowerEU means a more secure and independent energy system for 🇪🇺
Gas prices are now back around pre-war levels.
And on March 31st, at the end of the heating season, our gas storages were over 58% full ‐ a record high for that time of the year.
In two years of #REPowerEU we collected many achievements, but we need to keep going.
Our goal is to phase out completely Russian fossil fuel by 2027 and that renewable energy accounts for at least 42.5% of our energy consumption by 2030.
More than 130 GW of new #RenewableEnergy has been deployed since the #REPowerEU plan was launched in 2022. It corresponds to gas savings of 24 billion cubic meters 👏

Two years ago, we defied Russia’s energy blackmail with our #REPowerEU plan.
It is helping us phase out Russian fossil fuels by:
🔸 diversifying our energy supplies
🔹 speeding up the deployment of renewables
🔸 saving energy.
