The European Commission is urging EU governments to implement energy vouchers, income support, and social tariffs to assist vulnerable groups facing high energy prices. They propose tax reductions on electricity and clean technologies, while also encouraging consumers to adopt energy-efficient solutions. Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen and Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera presented measures aimed at cushioning the impact of high energy prices due to the Middle East conflict. The plan includes emergency support for energy-intensive industries and emphasizes temporary, targeted support aligned with long-term decarbonization goals. Critics highlight the need for a financial package to support these measures effectively.
