“Interesting” re Italy’s RepowerEU funds spent (as of end 2025) 👇
And what about M7, ie RepowerEU funds rearranged after Russia's energy crisis and *explicitly designed to accelerate the green transition*?
Well, of the €2.5bn registered at project level up to 2025, most went to gas (€420m).
Renewables lagged behind. Only double the size of H2 investments.
