Commission hosts 20th edition of the European Sustainable Energy Week

This week, the European Commission is hosting the 20th edition of the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW).

Since its launch in 2006, EUSEW has become Europe's biggest annual event on the clean energy transition, attracting around 10 000 participants each year. Taking place both onsite and online, this year's anniversary edition has the theme 'A clean, secure and competitive Energy Union'.  

Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen, opened the EUSEW with a keynote speech this morning. He participated in a special panel discussion, which featured all former EU Energy Commissioners since 2007 - notably, Andris Piebalgs, Günther Oettinger, Miguel Arias Cañete and Kadri Simson. Together, they discussed on the evolution of Europe's energy priorities and future challenges in a shifting geopolitical and economic landscape.

Later this afternoon, Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Šuica, together with Commissioner Jørgensen , will launch the T-MED initiative, a project under the Pact for the Mediterranean aimed at accelerating renewable energy and clean tech cooperation between the EU and its Southern Mediterranean partners. The Commissioners will present this initiative in a joint press point which you can follow live on EBS at 15:00 CEST.
