The European Commission has unveiled the Citizens’ Energy Package to make clean, affordable energy more accessible to all Europeans, lower bills, empower consumers in the transition, tackle energy poverty, and help Member States implement existing legislation effectively.
The Citizens’ Energy Package marks an important step towards ensuring that all Europeans can access clean and affordable energy. The European Commission's initiative aims to ease the pressure of energy bills while helping people take a more active role in the clean‑energy transition.
At the centre of the package is a strong focus on citizens: reducing costs, strengthening consumer protections, and addressing energy poverty. The measures are designed to help households benefit more fully from existing EU legislation, ensuring that the transition remains fair, inclusive, and supportive of those most in need.
As a key deliverable of the Action Plan for Affordable Energy, the package complements ongoing efforts to secure accessible, reliable, and sustainable energy across the Union. Together, these initiatives reinforce the EU’s commitment to a transition that supports both people and the wider energy system.
