| Abstract [eng] |
This study examines the implementation of the REPowerEU strategy in the European Union, aiming to assess its impact on energy efficiency, the economy, and the environment. The strategy, introduced in response to geopolitical challenges and climate change, focuses on enhancing energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy sources, and reducing reliance on imported energy. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method was employed to identify significant efficiency differences among EU countries. The results revealed that countries investing in renewable energy, such as Sweden, Germany, and Ireland, demonstrated higher efficiency levels. In contrast, Eastern European countries like Bulgaria and Poland faced challenges related to aging infrastructure and greater dependence on fossil fuels. The analysis also highlighted the impact of geopolitical events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, on the energy sector. In conclusion, the REPowerEU strategy is essential for achieving long-term energy security and sustainability. The study underscores the need for increased investments in clean energy, effective resource management, and policy measures that promote technological innovation and CO2 emission reduction. These initiatives will ensure stable energy supply and contribute to the fulfillment of climate change mitigation goals. |
