Approaches to energy poverty, electrifying mobility and the role of taxation in the energy transition all feature across the keynote speeches and policy sessions, alongside opportunities to consolidate the week’s discussions.
Watch on Youtube:
Europe needs to be there for those in difficulty: it has to show families its added value […] emergency interventions are absolutely necessary, no doubt, but these interventions have to be temporary
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Keynote speech on Consumers and a Fair Energy Transition
We can say with high confidence that the energy crisis will increase female energy poverty and would increase the burden of care for women […] we have to have data we have to have statistics, we have to have gender analysis
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Diversifying the energy transition: gender perspectives in energy poverty policies
Rooftop solar panels, heat pumps, hydrogen, bio methane - if we can deliver on these issues we won’t be just delivering on sustainability but on security as well
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Keynote speech on Decarbonisation
We’ve put the first brick, just yesterday we launched with the European Commission the Biomethane Partnership, and this will help us make sure that we get rid of the existing barriers for the deployment of renewable gases

✅ Exempting them from certain tendering procedures
✅ Becoming a member
✅ Setting up one-stop shops
✅ Including thresholds for #CitizenParticipation in #RenewableEnergy projects

Day 3's keynotes and sessions explore the policy actions and next steps promoting energy efficiency and renewables that are pivotal to achieving the goals of the REPowerEU and Fit for 55 initiatives.
Watch on Youtube:
The only way we as Europeans will increase our energy sovereignty and self-reliance is through renewable energy […] the only way we can make sure that nobody can blackmail us in the future is to have our own energy resources
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Launch of the European Biomethane Industrial Partnership
The potential availability of sustainable biomass is more than sufficient to allow advanced and waste biomass fuels to drive us to carbon neutrality
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Renewable and low carbon fuels: scaling-up for sustainable aviation and waterborne transport
We do have solutions which are sustainable, convenient, and effective, but we are in a situation where the measures that are being discussed are a patchwork
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Energy System Efficiency for a cost-effective decarbonisation and energy resilience
The armed forces are large consumers of energy and are responsible for majority of governmental shares of the CO2 emissions. At the same time, we cannot afford to reduce our military capabilities.
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Fast-tracking the energy transition and autonomy in defence
I’m sick and tired of hearing ‘innovation’ we need scale-up […] we need just basic solar panels, and there is no innovation, there is just a need for support
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Shaping the solar terawatt age: implementing the EU solar strategy

We are at a critical moment for #EU’s #energy security. Russia’s manipulation of energy markets forces us to act. Developing home-grown green energy production is a perfect way to end our fossil fuel dependency. pic.twitter.com/xFi1OELq2B
.@sorcha_edwards shares examples from the #socialhousing sector that speed energy efficiency up. The Netherlands has put a clear scenario for decarbonisation so that housing providers can have a clear vision.

The two keynote speeches set the tone for dedicated parallel sessions getting to the heart of the ambitious REPowerEU policy plan, and highlighting the role of digitalisation in making it a reality.
Watch on Youtube:
You may have the best most ambitious policies, but if they are not accepted by consumers [...] you can forget about it
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Keynote speech on Digitalisation
What is often perceived as lack of recognition is often also just lack of information. Once people understand better how energy communities work, we will see the shift happening
It’s not just about finance, there are many types of support, and it’s the softer skills support that is sometimes more important
⚡️ Rewatch the session: The commodification of green hydrogen for Europe
⚡️ Rewatch the session: REPowerEU: save energy, diversify, build a greener EU energy system

The first day of this year’s edition began with Kadri Simson setting out Europe’s priorities in the context of the REPowerEU plan, the EUSEW Awards Ceremony, and insights from young people leading Europe’s energy transition with the European Youth Energy Day.
Watch on Youtube:
#EUSEW2022 - Awards ceremony, European Youth Energy Day & more
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Opening session
⚡️ Rewatch the session: EUSEW Awards Ceremony
It’s not only about energy, but it’s about democracy: when people get empowered about their energy production […] it empowers them as well as a citizen, as part of a democracy
⚡️ Rewatch the session: Debate with Ambassadors
⚡️ Rewatch the session: European Youth Energy Day: How will our energy future look in 20 years?
Energy security is renewable energy. This is exactly what it means. It’s important that we are looking 10, 20, 30 years into the future.
