Memo: The Investment Plan for Europe and Energy: making the Energy Union a reality

On 14 June 2016, the European Commission released a fact sheet on the Investment Plan for Europe and Energy.

Energy efficiency, renewables, smart grids: with 24 financed projects and 29% of the available funding channelled into the energy sector, the Investment Plan For Europe is driving the Commission's goal of building an Energy Union forward.

From renovating buildings to make them energy efficient in France, to a new onshore wind farm in Sweden, 11 Member States have received support for sustainable, low-carbon projects which are in line with the EU's energy and climate goals. An additional €16.9 billion in investment is expected in sustainable and low-carbon energy projects over the coming years.
