Everyone in Europe should have access to affordable energy.

Through the Citizens Energy Package, we’re taking concrete actions and helping EU countries to put them into practice:

⚡ Lower energy costs, clearer bills, and easier switching between suppliers
🏡 Support energy communities and self-consumers
📉 Reduce dependence on fossil fuels and limit exposure to price volatility
🛡️ Fight energy poverty and protect vulnerable households

@Voyageur_Pragmatique I know there are very many germans dissapointed by this also. Sorry for generalizing ;)

Also I -as a dutchman- have take partial resposibility. The EU commissioner who loves to please these lobyists is dutch too. His name is Wopke Hoekstra and kind of a windbag in my honest opinion.
