We welcome the opportunity to contribute to the roadmap consultation on the review of the EU renewable energy rules. E.ON supports the new, clear path for the EU 2030 climate targets and the reduction in greenhouse gas emission of at least 55%.

E.ON appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on the recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. E.ON supports the plans of the European Commission for a green transition of our economy. The transformation of the energy sector is at the heart of Europe’s climate ambitions.

The energy transition can only succeed if all sectors contribute their fair share to the overall EU objective of achieving "net zero" by 2050. The building sector currently accounts for approximately 39% of CO2 emissions in the EU; therefore, it is also essential to set an ambitious course for climate neutrality here.

We welcome the European Climate Law. We believe that, together with the measures announced as part of the European Green Deal, it has the potential to spur the action needed to keep the energy transition moving and the EU on the path to meeting its Paris climate commitments.

E.ON feedback on the EU Commission’s proposal for carbon removals certification E.ON welcomes the European Commission’s proposal for a Regulation establishing a certification framework for carbon removals. As confirmed by the IPCC, carbon emissions reduction alone will not be sufficient to limit global temperature increase to 1,5°C. Thus carbon removals will play an indispensable part to reach global climate goals.

E.ON welcomes the revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive as a key pillar to reach our 2030 goals. Mobilizing private investments to accelerate the energy transition is essential. In this regard, the predominantly market-oriented approach in this directive seems suitable. In E.ON’s opinion, the efficiency targets are in line with the overall 55% GHG emissions reduction target by 2030.

We welcome the opportunity to contribute to the roadmap consultation of the Energy Efficiency Directive. E.ON fully supports the increase of the 2030 target to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 55%. It sets an appropriate pace to achieve net-neutrality until 2050. Mainstreaming energy efficiency is pivotal to making such a steep cut possible.

E.ON welcomes the revision of the EU Emissions Trading System to strengthen the carbon price and a second mechanism for transport and buildings. Robust carbon pricing is the foundation of cost-effective decarbonization solutions needed to deliver on Europe’s energy and climate targets.

E.ON submits the attached response to the Commissions Call for Evidence on the revision of the EU Cybersecurity Act (CSA2).
