Energy has become a central focus in the EU, driven by geopolitical shifts and the need for energy independence. Commissioner-Designate Jørgensen outlined his vision for addressing energy security, decarbonisation, and affordability in his hearing with the European Parliament. Emphasizing technology neutrality, he plans to include clean technologies such as clean hydrogen and Small Modular Reactors. Despite challenges in clean hydrogen deployment, efforts are underway to address infrastructure and funding. Geothermal energy also takes the spotlight, with a push for a European strategy to leverage its potential. Additionally, nuclear energy's role in the EU transition was discussed, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to different power generation pathways.
