Abstract

The development of energy infrastructure is crucial for the fulfilment of multifaceted European Union (EU) policy objectives in the energy field. The EU’s support to projects is financial, technical, and political, and explicated through a series of legislative acts. This opinion aims to provide an overview of the main energy policy initiatives introduced in recent years (or soon to be introduced) and their impact on European energy infrastructure development. Examples include the revision of the Trans-European Networks for Energy, funding mechanisms to foster sustainable investments in renewable energies, and the EU taxonomy on sustainable activities. We also discuss possible future improvements of EU policy and regulatory frameworks on energy with the aim of supporting an efficient achievement of the European Green Deal objectives.
