23 submissions from 23 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission lists 121 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 23 from organizations. Not shown, by design: submissions from private individuals, which we never publish, and anything filed since our last weekly refresh.
11 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 10 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations — a body that filed twice is counted twice.

We are concerned about this proposal, as it sends the wrong signal as to the Union’s determination in the transition to a zero-emission economy. Allowing investment in new fossil energy infrastructure would lead to an inherent conflict of objectives in REPowerEU. The initiative aims to reduce dependence on fossil energy and diversify energy supply.

ZERO welcomes the immediate efforts to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian fossil fuels in the context of the severe Russian aggression against Ukraine. However, the European Commission’s proposal falls short of mobilising sufficient additional funding at EU level and puts at risk the achievement of core environmental objectives.

Statkraft appreciates the Commission’s work to strengthen Europe’s energy security and proposals on how to align existing legislation as a response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its consequences on energy markets. Statkraft supports that Member States should modify their Recovery and Resilience Plans (RRPs) to include a REPowerEU chapter.
Enagás welcomes the European Commission’s proposal for amending Regulation (EU) 2021/241 on Recovery and Resilience Plans and other related documents. Recent events in Europe connected with the Russian invasion of Ukraine have shown the importance of reinforcing gas supply diversification, including import routes and cross-border points which are proven now to need additional capacity in the short and medium-term…
Business and Science Poland welcomes the opportunity to comment on the update of EU legislation in the context of REPowerEU goals. The new proposal of the European Commission COM (2022) 231 of May 18, 2022 concerns the amendment of five legislative documents, including Decision 2015/1814 on establishment and operation of a market stability reserve for the Union greenhouse gas emission trading scheme.
Bellona Europa welcomes the ongoing efforts by the European Commission and the opportunity to provide recommendations on the REPowerEU update to the Recovery and Resilience plans. We welcome the REPowerEU initiative of the EU to reduce its dependence on fossil gas, finally moving towards both climate goals and energy security.
Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing almost 70 European companies operating transmission pipelines, storage facilities and LNG terminals, shares the European Commission’s (EC) objectives of achieving climate-neutrality by 2050. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the urgent need for security and diversification of supply has become even more pressing.

When developing new policies, consistency with existing policies must be ensured. For the Citizens' Climate Lobby, the Fit For 55 package and the EU climate targets are obviously the most important ones. We want to raise our concerns about the amendment. It is not by demanding consistency in a legal text that this is indeed the case.

The exceptional situation in energy markets caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine requires Europe to revise its energy transition plans. We need to be better prepared to meet new challenges while building energy security for the entire EU and its individual regions.

Funding of the REPowerEU plan by auctioning allowances from the MSR worth 20 billion (articles 4 and 5), is a really dangerous measure which must be avoided. A few months back the European Commission rightfully refused to allow Member States to bring forward their share of allowances and auction them in order to tackle the energy price crisis because that would undermine the carbon price, and now it proposes a far…
IBERDROLA welcomes the revision of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) in terms of the revenues needed to finance the REPower EU Package The REPower EU package represents an ambitious step towards EU energy independence and resilience, while accelerating the energy transition.

We, Parents for Future Germany, are pleased to note the importance attached to the development of renewable energy. It is right to reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels. At the same time, it is a fundamental mistake to build new dependencies by importing fossil fuels from other countries.

We welcome immediate actions to reduce Europe’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels in the face of its aggression against Ukraine. However, the EC’s proposal falls short in mobilising sufficient additional finance at the EU level and puts at risk the achievement of key environmental objectives.
PGE S.A. would like to thank for the opportunity to provide its feedback on the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2021/241 as regards REPowerEU chapters in recovery and resilience plans and amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 , Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, Directive 2003/87/EC and Decision (EU) 2015/1814.

PGNiG POSITION ON THE REVISION OF THE REGULATION (EU) 2021/241 AS REGARDS REPOWEREU CHAPTERS IN RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE PLANS (2022/0164 (COD)) PGNiG welcomes REPowerEU’s objectives to boost gas supply diversification, accelerate the completion of gas infrastructure and hydrogen (H2) deployment.
The EU Commission is proposing to increase the budget of the Reconstruction and Resilience Facility (RRF) of the €700 billion Corona aid package, to finance the measures of the REPowerEU package. Under the Commission’s proposal, allowances worth €20 billion would be returned from the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) to the market by the end of 2026 through auctions – based on current market prices this corresponds to…

Zero Waste Europe welcomes the opportunity to give feedback on the REPowerEU proposal. We would like to give recommendations regarding investment in projects related to the waste sector to ensure these are in line with the Paris Agreement and the existing European Commission policies.
A sustainable bioeconomy is inevitable if the goals of the Paris agreement are to be achieved. According to IPCC scenarios, biomass will replace fossil fuels and raw materials, but also provides the opportunity for permanent removals through BECCS. Stockholm Exergi is producing heat and electricity from forestry residues.
Electrification and the transition to renewable energy sources combine emission reductions and energy efficiency. Energy Norway supports the proposal to raise the renewable target for 2030 to 45% in the Renewable Energy Directive. The transition to green energy should be driven by the 55% emission reductions target and the ETS mechanism.

Not to intermittent technologies in France, too much impact on our environment for more than average yields and increased dependence on other countries. Industrial photovoltaic and wind projects are catastrophic because the incentive for subsidies is to install them in areas of high environmental value (mountains, concrete sources) and also cause damage (health) to residents who are 500 mt away for wind towers…

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
