On 19 November 2020, the European Commission published an EU Strategy to harness the potential of offshore renewable energy for a climate neutral future. The Offshore Renewable Strategy was widely anticipated as part of the European Green Deal. The Offshore Renewable Strategy aims to dramatically increase the EU's production of electricity from offshore renewable energy sources from the current 12 gigawatts (GW) to 60GW by 2030 and 300GW by 2050. MEPs say that a net-zero emissions economy requires renewable energy to be deployed on an unprecedented scale. MEPs highlight that the cost of offshore wind has fallen dramatically in the last two decades (declining by 48% between 2010 and 2020), making it one of the most competitively priced sources of energy. This illustrative footage shows regular and aerial drone views of traditional wind energy as well as aerial drone views of an offshore wind energy.

MEPs assess recent and proposed EU measures to protect European households and businesses from rising prices during the coming winter. Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the disruption of Russian gas supplies has led to skyrocketing electricity prices and market volatility, leading the Commission and member states to consider new policy options such as capping prices or decoupling of gas and electricity prices.

A revision of the Renewable Energy Directive as amended by Parliament’s Industry, Research and Energy Committee would raise the share of renewables in the EU's overall energy consumption to 45% by 2030. Under the proposal, renewables deployment in the transport sector should lead to a 16% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, through the use of higher shares of advanced biofuels and a more ambitious quota for renewable fuels of non-biological origin, like hydrogen. Closing statement by Markus PIEPER (EPP, DE), Rapporteur and Adina VĂLEAN, European Commissioner for Transport.

On the 14th September 2022, Ursula von der LEYEN, EC President, delivers her State of the European Union (SOTEU) speech in the European Parliament. This infoclip illustrates one of the main stake of the coming year: the rising prices of energy, EU citizens' purchasing power hit by the energy crisis and the concerns around food security, following Russian agression against Ukraine.

El Parlamento está actualizando la normativa sobre energías renovables. Esto contribuirá a alcanzar la neutralidad climática para 2050. Pero, ¿qué depara el futuro para los proyectos de energías renovables? Este innovador aerogenerador flotante no es sino uno de los muchos avances emocionantes promovidos por la UE.

Un nuevo impulso a las energías renovables en Europa

The Industry, Research and Energy Committee will adopt its positions on two draft bills that are part of the “Fit for 55” package to fight climate change. MEPs will vote on new EU targets to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy and increase energy efficiency. The measures would also support the EU’s energy sovereignty and security in the context of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Following the vote, Markus PIEPER (EPP, DE), rapporteur, holds a press conference on the revision of the renewable energy directive.

With energy prices skyrocketing and households being put under increasing financial pressure, MEPs will discuss the merits and the most effective way of imposing a windfall tax on energy companies’ profits. In a resolution adopted in May, MEPs called for such a tax in principle.

Taxing windfall profits of energy companies: extracts from the debate

The Commission adopted the Taxonomy Delegated Act on 9 March 2022. It proposes the inclusion, under certain conditions, of specific nuclear and gas energy activities in the list of environmentally sustainable economic activities covered by the so-called EU Taxonomy. Parliament rejects the motion to oppose the inclusion of nuclear and gas as environmentally sustainable economic activities.
