Europe facing the energy crisis

Editorial published on September 15, 2022

On Wednesday, September 14, during her State of the European Union speech in the Strasbourg Parliament, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced “a complete and in-depth reform” of the European electricity market to protect citizens from soaring gas and electricity prices. Among the emergency measures mentioned, the cap on super-profits (which would bring 140 billion euros to the EU states) and the creation of a public bank dedicated to hydrogen.
Ursula von der Leyen also reiterated Europe’s “unwavering solidarity” with Ukraine, where she will be visiting on Thursday 15 September.
Since the beginning of the war and in the face of the immense challenges ahead, the European edifice has managed to adapt and safeguard its unity. In particular, to move towards energy independence, which is more necessary than ever.
