In a significant move, the Council recently approved key legislative measures related to energy and digital policies. These include regulations and directives concerning internal electricity, gas, and hydrogen markets, as well as the highly anticipated AI Act. The reform in the electricity market is designed to address and mitigate potential price spikes, particularly in response to destabilizing events such as Russia's aggression towards Ukraine. Furthermore, the gas market package is pivotal as it lays the groundwork for the establishment of hydrogen infrastructure in the coming years and the creation of an internal hydrogen market. This decision marks a crucial step towards fostering a more sustainable and diversified energy landscape in Europe, with a specific emphasis on the importance of hydrogen as a future energy carrier.
