The European Commission is urging EU governments to provide energy vouchers, income support and social tariffs to support vulnerable groups facing high energy prices, as well as blocking energy disconnections from the power grid.
Brussels is also suggesting tax reductions on electricity and clean technologies, while encouraging consumers to lower bills over time through subsidies for clean technologies, like heat pumps, solar panels and home insulation, in a more calculated attempt to help protect Europeans while reshaping the energy system beneath them.
