European Economic
and Social Committee
Permanent Group on Energy
The Permanent Group on Energy is aimed to link the EESC's agenda on energy issues to the broader context of the EU energy discourse and to advocate for a strong role for civil society, to ensure a successful energy transition.
Public participation in policy making and implementation increases ownership, improves the process and helps meet the EU's energy policy objectives. To promote such a dialogue, the members of the Permanent Group organise hearings and conferences and participate actively in events from outside organisations.
