The European Union's energy crisis remains unresolved despite the recent diplomatic breakthrough between the United States and Iran, according to EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen.
The commissioner urged member states to maintain a cautious stance, emphasizing that the new framework agreement does not automatically guarantee stable energy supplies for the bloc.
Jørgensen stressed that Europe must accelerate its transition away from fossil fuels to insulate itself from future geopolitical shocks.
He outlined a new, more ambitious electrification target designed to sever the continent's dependence on imported oil and natural gas.
The push for rapid electrification is seen as a critical step in mitigating the risks associated with volatile global energy markets and strained diplomatic relations in the Middle East.
The warning comes at a time when European energy security remains a paramount concern.
