On 3 December 2024, the ITRE Committee hosted the Energy Community Parliamentary Plenum.

The Energy Community brings together the European Union and its neighbouring countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and Ukraine) to create an integrated pan-European energy market. The aim of the Plenum is to ensure a dialogue between the parliaments of those countries and the European Parliament in order to solidify a parliamentary dimension in the Energy Community process.

This year's Plenum focused on the accelerated integration of the Energy Community with the EU in the electricity sector and on alleviating energy poverty.
