Governance Mechanism for the EU Energy Union & Climate Action
The Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 focuses on achieving the EU's 2030 energy and climate targets through integrated national energy and climate plans (NECPs) for 2021-2030. It emphasizes cooperation between EU countries, certainty for investors, and growth while reducing administrative burdens. The NECP process involves submitting draft and final plans, progress reports, and updates every 2 years. The European Commission assesses and provides recommendations to ensure targets are met.

The Regulation on the governance of the energy union and climate action (EU)2018/1999 entered into force on 24 December 2018 as part of the Clean energy for all Europeans package. The regulation emphasises the importance of meeting the EU's 2030 energy and climate targets and sets out how EU countries and the Commission should work together, and how individual countries should cooperate, to achieve the energy union's goals. It takes into account the fact that different countries can contribute to the energy union in different ways. The goals of the regulation are: to implement strategies and measures which ensure that the objectives of the energy union to stimulate cooperation between and within MS to achieve the objectives and targets of the energy union to promote long-term certainty and predictability for investors across the EU and foster jobs and growth to reduce administrative burdens, by integrating and streamlining most of the current planning and reporting requirements of EU countries, as well as the EC's monitoring obligations to ensure consistent reporting by the EU and its Member States under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris agreement, replacing the existing monitoring and reporting system Co-funded by the European Union under project ID 101076359.

The governance mechanism is based on integrated national energy and climate plans (NECPs) covering ten-year periods starting from 2021 to 2030. NECPs are meant to establish a 10-year plan for each MS (evey 10 years, starting for the period from 2021 to 2030) to collectively meet the EU s energy and climate targets for 2030 (and for 2040 and 2050 in the future); national long-term strategies to show MS s ambition to 2050; integrated reporting, monitoring and data publication. The NECPs outline how EU MS intend to address energy efficiency renewables greenhouse gas emissions reductions interconnections research and innovation Co-funded by the European Union under project ID 101076359.

Article 11 Multilevel climate and energy dialogue << Each Member State shall establish a multilevel climate and energy dialogue pursuant to national rules, in which local authorities, civil society organisations, business community, investors and other relevant stakeholders and the general public are able actively to engage and discuss the different scenarios envisaged for energy and climate policies, including for the long term, and review progress, unless it already has a structure which serves the same purpose. Integrated national energy and climate plans may be discussed within the framework of such a dialogue. >> Co-funded by the European Union under project ID 101076359.

ECs assessments [Each Member State] is also invited to better exploit the potential of the multilevel climate and energy dialogues to actively engage with regional and local authorities, social partners, civil society organisations, business community, investors and other relevant stakeholders and to discuss with them the different scenarios envisaged for its energy and climate policies. !

The guidance to MS on the process and scope of updating NECPs reads: Under Article 11 of the Governance Regulation, Member States must establish a multilevel energy and climate dialogue. They must provide a platform to discuss with stakeholders the different scenarios envisaged for energy and climate policies and achieving the EU s climate-neutrality objective set out in the Climate Law75. Member States will report on the progress in establishing this dialogue in the NECPs. For public consultations, Member States are encouraged to strengthen the multilevel dialogue and work with regional and local individuals and groups who can bring forward concrete measures. They should also explore synergies with existing forums, such as the EU Covenant of Mayors. Member States also need to ensure full and timely consultation and involvement of social partners, in accordance with the relevant national rules and practices. Social dialogue and a whole-of-society approach are key for developing and implementing effective energy and climate policies in line with the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. 75 The NECPlatform project funded under the LIFE Program aims at supporting six EU Member States (Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Italy, Portugal and Romania) in setting-up and managing permanent multi-level Climate and Energy Dialogue (CED) Platforms, helping them comply with Article 11 of the Governance Regulation by fostering vertical and horizontal integration of energy and climate policies, more info: Funding & tenders (europa.eu).
