I met with Carlos Zacarias, Minister for Mineral Resources & Energy of #Mozambique .
Discussing #renewables & strengthening grids. The meeting also gave me a chance to explain our views on #LNG , both short & long-term. I also invited 🇲🇿 to join our global pledges at #COP28 .
Wonderful exchange of views with the youth of #Mozambique at the Launch of the #YouthSoundingBoard , that aims to promote dialogue between the 🇪🇺 & 🇲🇿.
Youth represent 50% of population is 🇲🇿 & 40% of EU actions here are aimed at the youth. Happy to take this cooperation forward.
Greetings from the 1st #Mozambique -EU #GlobalGateway Investment Forum – an important moment & milestone in our partnership.
Honoured to sign the Global Gateway Flagships that will help deepen our partnership in energy, improve the grids in🇲🇿 & boost the work with youth.
I’m in #Mozambique to attend the 1st edition of the 🇪🇺-🇲🇿 #GlobalGateway Investment Forum & to engage with government & stakeholders.
Already had a great exchange with Verónica Macamo, Minister for Foreign Affairs & Cooperation, discussing the way forward for our cooperation.
Today’s North Seas Energy Cooperation Ministerial brought great exchanges on implementing the EU Wind Action Plan with emphasis on #permitting & #digitalisation . Supporting EU’s🇪🇺 #renewables manufacturers is our shared priority. We will continue with ambitious offshore policies!
Europe’s future #energy mix will be cleaner & greener, and #offshorerenewables will have a central part. The North Sea is leading the way in their deployment & can be Europe’s “Green Power Plant”.
Discussing the promotion of our recent #WindPower Package & the way forward.
Visiting Qartli Wind Power Station, the first wind farm built in #Georgia . It is also the 1st commercial #windpower plant built in the South Caucasus & with EU manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems & The EBRD funding. Georgia 🇬🇪 has good potential to develop #renewableenergy .
The European Commission recognises the genuine EU aspiration of Georgian people & it’s now for 🇬🇪 to set the pace of reforms needed. Our cooperation is encouraging. I thank Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili for the commitment to join our #COP28 pledge on #renewables & #energyefficiency .
Commissioner Kadri Simson heads to Tbilisi for the EU-Georgia 🇪🇺🇬🇪 high-level energy dialogue tomorrow.
The focus will be on compliance with EU energy rules, #energyinfrastructure development and promotion of #EnergyEfficiency & #RenewableEnergy .
