Dan Jørgensen announces an energy omnibus: ‘I'm aware this can be seen as controversial’

As Europe works to reconcile energy security with its climate goals, Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen told Contexte of the tightrope he is walking. In a wide-ranging interview, he defends US LNG imports as a pragmatic necessity, rejects criticism of EU methane rules, and outlines an upcoming “energy omnibus” to slash permitting delays for renewables. He also responds to industry calls for deeper nuclear engagement.
