What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The S&D Group in the European Parliament is calling for a fundamental change in Europe’s energy policy, citing the benefits of clean energy. Mohammed Chahim, vice-president of the S&D Group for energy matters, stated that while clean energy is lowering wholesale prices, households and businesses still face high bills. The group argues that Europe must break the link between gas and electricity prices to ensure cheaper, home-grown renewable energy benefits consumers.
