Our ability to realise the regional Nordic energy vision that we have for 2030 will be influenced by a number of European initiatives. This therefore makes it all the more relevant to strengthen regional co-operation between political authorities, market actors, research environments and civil society in the Nordic Region.
Over the course of the 2025–2030 period, the Nordic countries will follow the review of the energy regulations, and the work to develop new goals for 2030 as part of the European Green Deal (EGD) and Fit for 55. Under the EGD, the Nordic countries will be able to establish and adapt their existing regional co-operation within topics such as renewable energy (including offshore wind), energy efficiency improvements (including energy-efficiency first), ecodesign (including Nordsyn), the Energy Efficiency Directive, improving the energy efficiency of construction and renovation strategies, hydrogen, co-operation around smart system integration, national energy and climate plans (NECPs) and the further development of the electricity market and infrastructure. Research, development and innovation will support the road maps horizontally within important areas such as hydrogen, CCUS and offshore wind.
