Mission

DG ENER is focused on creating a competitive internal energy market to lower prices, to develop renewable energy sources, to reduce energy dependence and to reduce energy consumption.

Resources

The Directorate-General for Energy, based in Brussels, reports to Miguel Arias Cañete, European Commissioner for Energy and Climate Action and to Vice President of the Commission Maroš Šefčovič, responsible for Energy Union. The Directorate-General was headed by Phillip Lowe from March 2010 and by Dominique Ristori since January 2014.

Structure

The Directorate-General is made up of 6 Directorates (two of which deal with EURATOM issues), and the Euratom Supply Agency.

Electromobility

The Green Car Initiative (GCI) is included in the European Economic Recovery Plan (EERP) presented November 2008. Electrification of transport (electromobility) figures prominently in the GCI. DG TREN is supporting a large European "electromobility" project on electric vehicles and related infrastructure with a total budget of around € 50million as part of the Green Car Initiative.[2]

gollark: Apparently, you were warned a lot.

gollark: This is because they are banned.

gollark: Banned people cannot in fact talk here.

gollark: Maybe they want you to do a bit on the basics of how it works and write the rest about extra stuff like security implications or something.

gollark: My internet connection is being total bees. This is very irritating.
