Commission to accelerate digitization of energy system

The EU Commission wants to drive forward the digitization of the energy system with an action plan. The aim is to make Europe independent of fossil fuels from Russia and tackle the climate crisis. Last but not least, the accelerated digitization of the sector should help reduce consumers’ energy bills. The Commission plans to radically transform the European energy system. It envisages new rules for data centers and wants to allow member states a temporal ban on energy-intensive crypto mining.
