European consumers and industry to benefit from clean, secure and stable energy supplies with key market reforms now adopted
The European Commission has welcomed the adoption of significant reforms to the electricity and gas markets, along with a new regulatory framework to boost hydrogen and decarbonized gases. These changes aim to accelerate the clean energy transition, enhance supply security, and protect consumers, drawing on lessons from the recent energy crisis. Key features include improved consumer contract options, support for renewable energy integration, and the creation of a hydrogen market, all contributing to Europe's energy and climate targets under the European Green Deal.
