Outlook: the fall agenda for energy policy

As a reminder, the RED and EED guidelines are being revised as part of the Fit for 55 package adopted by the Commission in July 2021. What sounds like a fitness program for fifty-year-olds is actually a mammoth legislative package with the goal of making Europe climate neutral by 2050. This goal is enshrined in European climate law, as is a legally binding commitment to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent from 1990 levels by 2030. These proposals would reduce European gas consumption by percent by 2030, with more than one-third of these savings coming from meeting energy efficiency targets.
