Energy poverty remains a major concern for European people. Recent legislation has attempted to protect vulnerable consumers from electricity disconnection. This year, the European Commission has issued an action plan for affordable energy as part the Clean Industrial Deal, which focuses on decreasing energy prices for citizens, businesses and communities across the EU. This plan proposes a series of measures to lower energy bills and fast-track cost-saving and reinforcing structural reforms for our energy system.
Against this backdrop, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and the European Commission are holding a joint conference on affordable energy in Brussels from 9:30 to 17:30 on 11 June 2025.
