BRUSSELS (ANP) – New regulations permit a temporary cut in electricity prices for energy-intensive sectors, contingent on companies investing in CO2 reduction.
The updated guidelines also allow for state aid aimed at decarbonizing production facilities and enhancing production capabilities for clean technology within the European Union.
This extends to making investments in clean energy and technology more appealing and less precarious, as well as supporting projects that foster the circular economy.
“If Europe intends to lead in clean technology, we must take decisive and clear actions,” stated European Commissioner Teresa Ribera (Clean Transition). The new regulations facilitate and accelerate CO2 reduction efforts and “acknowledge the state’s role as a strategic investor in our future,” she added.
The European Commissioner noted that this serves as “a tool to enhance climate ambition, bolster Europe’s resilience, and maintain our industry’s global competitiveness.”
