ESFRI adopted a Report on Energy and Supply Challenges that Research Infrastructures (RIs) are facing (20-22 June 2023). ESFRI has established a dedicated drafting group to look into the energy and supply challenges RIs face, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic aftermath & Russian aggression on Ukraine, leading to high inflation, increased energy costs, and shortages of critical resources in the EU, also responding to a call by the Competitiveness Council to do so.
The main responses to these challenges are:
- Additional funds allocation;
- Energy Price Capping;
- Greening the operations of Research Infrastructures.
