A recent Eurobarometer survey confirmed that in all EU Member States, citizens overwhelmingly support to increase ambition to strengthen Europe’s energy security. After the crisis of COVID-19, energy security will remain an important issue at the heart of European energy policy and key for a more resilient society. Despite this uncertainty, EU leaders have underlined the importance of pressing on with our ambition of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and this should influence the public and private investment decisions and new policy programmes that will follow in the coming months.

Even before the COVID-19 crisis, in 2019 the EU adopted the Regulation on risk preparedness in the electricity sector as part of  Clean energy for all Europeans package .
