As set out in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, released in November 2020, the government wants the UK to be the first country in the world to commercialise fusion energy technology.

Therefore, "Nuclear energy has been identified as the primary means of ensuring energy security in the Czech Republic in the context of achieving the goal of a climate-neutral EU by 2050 due to its ability to ensure low-carbon, stable and cheap electricity supplies."

The European Commission has endorsed Romania’s €29.2bn recovery and resilience plans, of which 41% to finance the energy transition.

It therefore represents a hugely important national capability, enabling industry in the UK and internationally to design, and eventually qualify, components for future commercial fusion power plants.

PGNiG and the Polish government have long been opposed to Nord Stream 2, saying it threatens European energy security and could see Poland's role as a transit country for Russian gas to Europe reduced.

Spain approved in October 2020 a Hydrogen Roadmap through to 2030 with an expected investment of Eur8.9 billion in the sector with targets to reach 4 GW of electrolyzers and other targets.

The mentioned effects of low generation from renewable energies and higher consumption led to a significant increase in coal-fired power generation, at least in Germany
