Revision of EU State Aid Guidelines for Climate, Energy & Environment
02 August 2021
EUTurbines welcomes that the European Commission, in its draft guidelines, recognises the future value of gas power plants and their contribution to decarbonisation. The EUTurbines Position Paper recommends a number of improvements to the proposed text, especially the recognition that gas power plants are not limited to the use of natural gas but can operate with renewable and climate-neutral gases, the technology-neutrality of security of supply measures, the eligibility of operating costs and references to the EU Taxonomy.
