Abstract

The transformation of the EU's energy policy aims for security and sustainability in crisis through a shift to renewable sources, enhanced efficiency, and innovation adoption. The analysis examines managerial decisions like REPowerEU, economic benefits from savings, social challenges such as energy poverty, and technological advances with hydrogen and artificial intelligence. It highlights the need for substantial investments, coordination among states, and addressing regional disparities for a successful transition by 2030, establishing the EU as a leader in the global energy sector.
