Abstract

The Joint European Action for more affordable, secure and sustainable energy is a policy at EU level and lays down actions to be acheived before 2030. The purpose of this policy is to increase the resilience of the EU-wide energy system by diversifying supplies of gas, oil and coal with alternatives and reducing faster EU's dependence on fossil fuels. This policy underlines that the energy efficiency should be applied across all sectors and policies, with demand response measures complementing those on the supply-side, and clean energy will be accelerated through the green transition and investment in renewable energy.
