"The plan, which foresees tweaking rules so that electricity is taxed less than oil and gas, aims to bring down bills while encouraging the move away from polluting devices that prolong reliance on foreign fuels."

"The commission said it would adopt temporary state aid rules to allow member countries to directly shield consumers and businesses from high energy prices but warned any support must be targeted, timely and temporary."

The commission will set an electrification target and propose actions to lower the price ratio between electricity and fossil fuels, addressing the EU's vulnerability to foreign fuel reliance amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
