The Directorate-General for Energy of the European Commission launched in 2021 a series of stakeholder dialogues co-organised with Representations of the European Commission in some EU countries. The objective of these dialogues is to offer invited stakeholders the possibility to exchange with DG ENER officials on the European Green Deal package. Ten dialogues took place in 2021 in Sweden, Germany, Bulgaria, Poland, Slovenia, Ireland, Latvia, Italy, Portugal and Greece, with over 600 participants in total. As in 2021, the planning and topics of the Energy stakeholder dialogues taking place in 2022 will take into account the political and legislative agenda and the specific national context of each hosting EU country. The European Green Deal and the REPowerEU plan, adopted by the European Commission on March 8, will constitute the main framework for the discussions. The 2022 series will open with the first dialogue in Czechia on 29 March. It will focus on energy security, energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy sources for households and companies in Czechia. The following dialogue will take place in Paris on 5 April in a ‘world café’ format with young people and will focus on renewables. The dates for other dialogues are being finalised and will be published on the energy stakeholder dialogue web page, as soon as confirmed.
