Energy policy of the European Union

The energy policy of the European Union focuses on ensuring energy security and affordability, integrating the energy markets of European Union member states, improving energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate policy has become a central part of EU energy policy, particularly through the European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package. The EU has set a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels and aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, energy security became a renewed priority of EU policy.
