Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION on coordinated demand reduction measures for gas

Summary

The European Union is addressing the critical challenge of potential full and protracted disruption of gas supplies from Russia, which has been using energy as a political weapon. The proposed Council Regulation seeks to establish a coordinated framework for gas demand reduction measures across Member States, introducing a 'Union alert' mechanism that could trigger mandatory, Union-wide gas demand reductions. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, as it is a proposal complementing broader efforts like REPowerEU to enhance energy security and reduce reliance on Russian fossil fuels.
