Renewable energy in the EU
Due to the recent energy crisis, there is a growing focus on renewable energy sources within the European Union (EU) as a possible solution to challenges such as energy security and high prices. The 2023 Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requires the EU to achieve a 42.5 % share of renewable energy sources (RES) in gross final energy consumption by 2030. As of 2022, the EU has reached a 23 % share of renewables in its energy consumption. In analysing the EU’s energy landscape, it is crucial to note ...
Strategic autonomy and the future of nuclear energy in the EU
Nuclear energy and the promise of cost-effective small modular reactors (SMRs) is high on the EU's policy agenda, against the backdrop of a difficult global geopolitical context and the Union's energy security and climate ambitions. The EU is building a comprehensive strategy for the development and deployment of SMRs, acknowledging their potential benefits and challenges. Innovative nuclear technologies are of significant strategic value, with major steps being taken to increase the supply of advanced ...
Desmit jomas, kurās Eiropa tev varētu dot vairāk
Globālās problēmas, tostarp klimata pārmaiņas, ģeopolitiskie konflikti, demokrātijas principu erozija un sociālā nevienlīdzība, ietekmē cilvēku ikdienas dzīvi un nākotnes perspektīvas. Kopīga Eiropas reakcija nākamo 10 gadu laikā varētu palīdzēt risināt šīs problēmas un sniegt ieguvumus līdz pat 3 triljoniem eiro gadā. Tas ir aptuveni 18 % no ES iekšzemes kopprodukta (IKP), kas atbilst 6700 € uz vienu iedzīvotāju gadā. Atsaucoties uz Eiropas Parlamenta paveikto darbu 2019.–2024. gada sasaukuma laikā ...
Energy Community: Creating an integrated pan-European energy market
The Energy Community is an international organisation facilitating energy cooperation; it brings together the EU and neighbouring countries. Established by the Treaty establishing the Energy Community, signed in 2005 in Athens, Greece, it has been in force since 2006. The treaty's validity has been extended twice, most recently until 2036. The signatories to the treaty are the EU and nine contracting parties: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, ...
Recast EU directive on gas and hydrogen markets
On 15 December 2021, the Commission adopted a legislative proposal to recast the 2009 EU Gas Directive as part of the proposed hydrogen and decarbonised gas markets package. This reflects the EU's growing climate ambitions, as set out in the European Green Deal and its 'fit for 55' package. The proposal aims to support the decarbonisation of the energy sector by ramping up the production of renewable gases and hydrogen, and facilitating their integration in EU energy networks. The recast directive ...
Recast EU Regulation on Gas and Hydrogen Networks
On 15 December 2021, the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal to recast the 2009 EU Gas Regulation as part of the hydrogen and decarbonised gas markets package. This reflects the EU's growing climate ambitions, as outlined in the European Green Deal and its 'fit for 55' package. The proposal seeks to support the decarbonisation of the energy sector by increasing the production of renewable gases and hydrogen across the EU, and facilitating their integration in existing or new gas networks ...
Wind energy in the EU
Renewable energy plays a crucial role in the context of EU climate targets and energy security needs. Wind energy will be central to accelerating the roll-out of renewables and the green transition outlined in the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU plan. In 2022, the total installed wind power capacity in the EU reached 204 GW (gigawatts), most of which was onshore (92 %). The European Commission estimates that new EU target of at least 42.5 % renewable energy in energy consumption by 2030 will ...
Forest monitoring and resilience in the EU
The problem definition in the impact assessment (IA) appears to be well-supported by evidence. The description of the policy options is balanced, albeit sometimes lacking in detail. The assessment of the options' impacts (economic, social and environmental) is mainly qualitative, with only limited quantified estimates of costs and benefits. Data limitations and uncertainties could have been described in more detail. The IA consistently presents the stakeholders' views on the problems, their drivers ...
Atjaunojamie energoresursi
Atjaunojamie enerģijas avoti (vēja enerģija, saules enerģija, hidroelektroenerģija, okeāna enerģija, ģeotermālā enerģija, biomasa un biodegviela) ir fosilā kurināmā alternatīvas, kas palīdz samazināt siltumnīcefekta gāzu emisijas, dažādot energoapgādi un samazināt atkarību no nedrošajiem un nepastāvīgajiem fosilā kurināmā, jo īpaši naftas un gāzes, tirgiem. Atjaunīgos energoresursus veicinošs ES tiesiskais regulējums ir būtiski attīstījies pēdējos 15 gados. 2021. gadā atjaunīgā enerģija veidoja 21,8 ...
Eiropas komunikāciju tīkli: pamatnostādnes
Eiropas transporta, enerģētikas un telekomunikāciju tīkli (TEN) ir izstrādāti, lai savienotu ES reģionus un veicinātu iekšējā tirgus izaugsmi un nodarbinātību. Tie nostiprina ekonomisko, sociālo un teritoriālo kohēziju. Eiropas transporta tīkls (TEN-T) laika gaitā ir attīstījies, ieskaitot fundamentālu reformu 2013. gadā un būtisku pārskatīšanu, kas ierosināta 2021. gadā. 2022. gadā energoinfrastruktūras (TEN-E) pamatnostādnes tika pielāgotas Eiropas zaļajam kursam.
