EU consults on revamping energy research plan

Plan needs to respond to challenges such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Commission says

The EU is seeking views on how it should update its 15-year-old Strategic Energy Technology Plan, which coordinates research on clean energy among the bloc’s member states, companies and research institutions.

Explaining what it wants to achieve with a public call for evidence launched on 5 October, the European Commission said the Set Plan has played a central role in guiding research efforts in recent years, but that it must be “revamped” in light of a “rapidly changing policy context”.
