Since the start of the Middle East conflict, our bill for fossil fuel imports increased by € 25 billion. Without a single molecule more of energy. We need to reduce our overdependency on fossil fuels. Boost clean energy like renewables and nuclear. And electrify Europe. This is the key to security and stability

We discussed a series of immediate and long-term energy measures that we will present to leaders at the informal EUCO. The way ahead is clear. The only lasting way out of the fossil dependency is shifting electricity generation to renewables and nuclear. And electrifying the economy as rapidly as possible. We will present our electrification strategy before the summer. Electrifying Europe means making Europe more independent.
