As Europe accelerates its green transition, energy security has become a central pillar of its long-term strategic resilience and industrial competitiveness. American companies in Europe are investing in clean technologies and decarbonisation, but their progress relies on stable, affordable and diversified energy supplies. To support this, the EU must revise its energy security framework by modernising grid infrastructure, streamlining permitting procedures and scaling up energy storage and digitalisation. At the same time, protecting critical infrastructure from cyber and hybrid threats is vital to maintaining system reliability. Learn how closer EU-US cooperation on clean energy and resilient supply chains will achieve a secure transatlantic energy future.
