While supplies of liquefied natural gas from the US \u201cremain of strategic importance for the European Union\u201d, Ursula von der Leyen gave no indication that the EU executive planned to further ramp up imports, in a speech at a two-day summit on the future of energy security that opened in London on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission president noted how Russia had \u201cintentionally weaponised\u201d energy supplies while conflict in the Middle East threated global shipping. \u201cAnd across the Atlantic, the threat of tariffs risk further disruption of crucial supply chains,\u201d she added in a direct reference to the trade war launched by the US president. Even before taking office, Trump had threatened the EU with tariffs unless it started buying more US oil and gas. Von der Leyen underlined the progress the EU \u2013 which lacks any significant fossil fuel reserves \u2013 had already made in switching to clean energy, with renewables providing nearly half the bloc\u2019s electricity, and 78 gigawatts of new generation capacity deployed last year alone.<\/p>\n<p>The North Sea can be a future \u201cpower house\u201d for wind energy, the German politician said, listing key EU initiatives such as the Clean Industrial Deal and noting that growth in electricity demand had doubled last year. Von der Leyen also asserted Europe\u2019s commitment to the agreement to triple renewable energy production by 2030 at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai in 2023, part of the UN climate action talks that Trump has withdrawn the US from for a second time.<\/p>\n<p>UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke of \u201coverexposure, over many years, to the roller coaster of international fossil fuel markets\u201d, blaming associated price shocks for more than half economic recessions. \u201cWe will make energy a source not of vulnerability, but of strength,\u201d Starmer said, linking energy security to national security. \u201cWe can\u2019t deliver that by defending the status quo, or by trying to turn the clock back to a world that no longer exists. Hme-grown clean energy is the only way to take back control of our energy system,\u201d the UK premier added, while noting fossil fuels would remain part of the mix for \u201cdecades to come\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/04\/24\/eu-and-uk-underline-commitment-to-energy-transition-at-london-summit\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/04\/24\/eu-and-uk-underline-commitment-to-energy-transition-at-london-summit\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/eu-and-uk-underline-commitment-to-energy-transition-at-london-summit\/\">EU and UK underline commitment to energy transition at London summit<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[9445,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-139243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-energy-transition","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139243\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
