Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure are having an impact on Moldova’s energy security too.
The EU stands by Moldova and is ready to step up support to keep the lights on.

Russia’s strikes on civilian energy infrastructure in Ukraine are a war crime — and an attack on all of us. Overnight strikes disconnected Moldova’s key power link with Europe. Alternative routes are in place, but the situation remains ...

The green transition is a path toward the EU’s overall energy independence, Commissioner @DanJoergensen@respublicae.eu told us at #POLITICOCompetitiveSummit.
“There is no real debate in Europe whether or not we need more renewables … it’s so clear to everybody that we do.”

1956. 1970s. 2022. 2026.
Different crises. Same result: energy prices rise in Europe.
Once again, instability beyond our borders is driving up bills at home.
How many times must this happen before we change course?
🧵👇

https://nitter.net/DanJoergensen/status/2036845791394808019#m
R to @DanJoergensen@respublicae.eu: Still, one thing is clear: reliance on imported fossil fuels brings too many risks.
We need to double down on the energy transition. We must continue to expand our clean, homegrown renewable energy & energy efficiency, while modernising and increasing our energy infrastructure.👇

https://nitter.net/DanJoergensen/status/2029968738972209351#m
We should be under no illusion that the consequences of the crisis in the Middle East for the energy markets will be short-lived.
Europe must take action in unity and close coordination. Better to be prepared than sorry.
