RGI statement on the REPowerEU chapters in the recovery and resilience plans

RGI acknowledges that significant public and private investments are needed to bridge the investment gap for the energy transition, while maintaining energy security and security of supply. However, the proposal to amend the Recovery and Resilience Facility in the context of the REPowerEU, and the positions of the European Parliament and Council raise concerns about the effectiveness of the proposed measures.

In our statement, we therefore call for the co-legislators to adopt a holistic approach when addressing the current energy crisis without undermining European climate, energy and nature protection ambitions.
