Update of the governance of the Energy Union and climate action

While the main climate and energy framework for 2030 is now in place and the European Union has a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90 % by 2040, the task now is to prepare the post-2030 framework. With this in mind, MEDEF supports the revision of the European Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union.

Electrification is the most cost, resource-efficient, and scalable pathway to decarbonise final energy demand while strengthening energy security. Globally, electricity is planned to account for 40% of cumulative emissions reductions from end-use sectors by mid-century and in Europe, electricitys share of final energy consumption is projected to rise to 50% in 2040.

A revision of the Governance Regulation on the Energy Union and Climate Action is an opportunity for the EU to assert its commitment to energy security; a more affordable energy system based on renewables, electrified heating and transport; energy-efficient products; and the, so far, untapped potential of more sustainable food consumption patterns.

The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise welcomes the opportunity to provide input to the revision of the governance framework established under the Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action.

A predictable, coherent and cost-efficient governance framework is essential to deliver decarbonisation while preserving affordability and industrial competitiveness. In the context of the Governance regulation review, we recommend the EU Commission to modernise the overall EU energy and climate architecture, in particular by: 1.

Affordable energy and competitiveness depend on accelerating the heat transition. Heating and cooling account for around half of the EUs final energy demand and still rely heavily on fossil fuels, which keeps households and industry exposed to import dependence and price volatility.

Bellona Europa welcomes the revision of the Governance Regulation as a vital chance to reaffirm the EUs commitment to its climate and energy goals. We welcome the Commissions evaluation report and the supporting analyses, which together provide a comprehensive overview of the Regulation's current implementation status and improvement needs.

We strongly support the 90% target for 2040 and the ETS with a ceiling, LRF and carbon price as the main instrument to reach the target. We also see a need for a non-binding EU-level subtarget for renewable energy to maintain investor confidence in uncertain times. Finally we see a need for an electrification subtarget.

Transport & Environment (T&E) welcomes the revision of Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (Governance Regulation) as a key opportunity for shaping the EUs post-2030 climate and energy architecture.

Carbon Market Watchs response focuses on the role of carbon dioxide removals planning and reporting within the Governance Regulation framework. Carbon Dioxide Removals (CDR) are measures and technologies that draw down carbon from the atmosphere and store it over relevant time horizons, so the removed CO2 can no longer contribute to climate breakdown.

Energy Efficiency for Europe welcomes the European Commissions intent to revise the Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (the Governance Regulation). This revision is an important step towards achieving the EUs newly adopted 2040 climate target and accelerating the transition to climate neutrality, while ensuring competitiveness, energy security, and resilience.

The agreement on an ambitious climate target of a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, compared to 1990 levels, is an important step towards climate neutrality by 2050.

DENEFF welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the update of the governance of the Energy Union. Strengthening energy efficiency and electrification in the post-2030 framework is essential to deliver climate neutrality, competitiveness, affordability and energy security. Energy efficiency is a proven pillar of resilience and cost reduction.

Security of energy supply particularly for oil and gas and energy dependencies have become central to the credibility of the trajectories monitored under the Governance Regulation, alongside climate targets. This is of course not new, but reinforced by the context of geopolitical tensions, low and declining domestic fossil fuel resources and volatile energy markets on which Europes economy still heavily depends..

The revision of the Governance Regulation should ensure that National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) provide the predictability, transparency and investment framework required for the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industrial value chains such as PVC, while safeguarding Europes industrial competitiveness and strategic autonomy.

Fern welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the call for evidence on the update of the Governance Regulation.

The We Mean Business Coalition (WMBC) Secretariat welcomes the European Commission's Call for Evidence on the revision of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (Governance Regulation). This revision represents a timely and strategic opportunity to ensure that the EUs governance framework is fully equipped to deliver the binding 2040 climate target.

The EU Governance Regulation can be a key tool for facilitating strategic planning and implementation with regards to the five dimensions of the Energy Union. However, as it stands, the Regulation is arguably not meeting its stated objectives. Without an effective planning and implementation framework, the EU risks falling short of its climate objectives, both under the Paris Agreement and the EU's own law.

Hydrogen Europe welcomes the European Commissions consultation on the revision of the Governance Regulation, which comes at a pivotal moment for the EUs energy and climate policy framework.

IRT Wrocław (Poland) In July 2025, the Commission proposed an amendment to the European Climate Law (COM(2025) 524 final) establishing a legally binding target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 compared to 1990 levels. This is intended to ensure a credible and stable path towards achieving climate neutrality by 2050.

The revision of the Governance Regulation should focus on strengthening the strategic coherence, effectiveness and usability of the EU climate and energy planning framework. While the current system of National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) and Long-Term Strategies (LTS) has significantly improved transparency and coordination, several structural limitations have become evident during implementation.

Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine have exposed Europes continued vulnerability to fossil fuel imports, as illustrated by volatile gas prices. To strengthen energy security, competitiveness and sovereignty, Europe must accelerate its transition toward a decarbonised and largely electrified energy system.

Contribution to the public consultation on the revision of the Energy Union Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 This contribution builds on the experience gained as rapporteur of the opinion on the Social Climate Fund (SCF) within the European Committee of the Regions.

We welcome the European Commissions initiative to revise the governance framework for the Energy Union and climate policy. In particular, the proposal to further develop National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) into comprehensive investment plans is an important step towards improving transparency, planning certainty, and strategic alignment across the European Union.

The update of the Governance Regulation should strengthen the EU framework for planning, monitoring and contributing to deliver the energy transition post-2030 (without touching the 2030 architecture), while preserving the elements that have proven effective until now.

It is essential that the Governance Regulation remains in its current form and does not impose new obligations on Member States. In particular, this concerns the production of additional strategy papers, as the preparation of further papers and their regular updates represent a significant burden for national administrations.

1. Pricing & market logic (very large deficit) The price of electricity continues to be determined by the most expensive power plant (mostly gas) (Merit Order). Renewables with very low production costs do not lower the price directly for consumers. Decoupling of electricity and gas prices is insufficient. Industry and households have little price certainty (high volatility).
