🇩🇪 Energy minister now seems to be a regular guest of the Member States' nuclear alliance.
Heute: Nuklear-Allianz-Treffen der EU-Energieminister. Mittendrin: Katherina Reiche. Parallel beraten auch Minster*innen für Erneuerbare. Reiche kümmert sich in Europa um Atomkraft, in die bei uns niemand investiert. Wir brauchen endlich eine Wirtschaftsministerin für die boomenden Erneuerbaren!

📍Heads up: a flood of initiatives coming on 25/11, including the European Grids Package & Industrial Accelerator Act
September 30, 2025 at 8:05 AM
The grid package could be published around 26 November — or one to two weeks later — suggested DG ENER Deputy Director Mechthild Wörsdörfer today before ITRE MEPs.

It will include the 2nd PCI/PMI list, guidance on grid connection, and a revision of the TEN-E regulation.

#Draghi doesn’t hold back on EU energy policy:

👉Relaxing rules to subsidise prices “does not fix the structural reasons why energy in 🇪🇺 is so expensive”
👉Grid package & budget “wont cut energy prices quickly”
👉Decoupling gas&elect. prices: “far more decisive action needed”
September 16, 2025 at 4:57 PM
The consultation on the revision of the energy security framework is out 👉DG ENER is considering a single regulation covering electricity, natural gas, and other energy carriers (e.g. hydrogen).

Also in today's speech : "I am presenting today a new initiative called Energy Highways. We have identified eight critical bottlenecks in our energy infrastructure. From the Øresund Strait to the Sicilian Canal. We will now work to remove these bottlenecks one by one" #SOTEU
“The Commission will propose an Industrial Accelerator Act for key strategic sectors and technologies,” said @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu in #SOTEU

But where did the word decarbonisation go? It was supposed to be an "Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act"
