Costa Urges Europe to Boost Domestic Energy Production Amid Iran War
"The best way to have a predictable and reliable horizon on our energy is to increase the homegrown production of energy," Costa said ahead of the European Council Meeting.
He stressed that achieving energy independence is vital for security, explaining, "It’s the only way to become autonomous and independent" and to "secure our energy system." Costa also called for speeding up the EU’s energy transition, while taking into account the differing capacities and challenges of member states and energy-intensive industries.
"Energy means security," he reiterated, underscoring the importance of building Europe’s own energy production capabilities to ensure stability over the long term.
Costa went on to highlight the need for international cooperation to address overlapping crises around the world. He described conditions in Lebanon and Gaza as "dramatic" and emphasized the urgency of mobilizing support for Gaza, including reconstructing infrastructure and ensuring access to aid, water, and energy.
He also reminded that the conflict in Ukraine persists, cautioning that the EU must tackle multiple global challenges concurrently, according to reports.
