TAKE BACK THE POWER 

A right to green energy for all

We want green and affordable energy for all

Energy, its provenance and its price, impact both people and the planet. We all want and deserve to live a dignified life on a healthy planet: affordable and renewable energy is the way to this.

But that’s not currently the case

We are in times of social and climate crisis because of our dependency on fossil fuels and authoritarian regimes, raising prices and exploiting the earth.

A right to energy is the solution

Everyone should have access to affordable and renewable energy, as a basic right. We want the European Union to guarantee that all people living in the EU can benefit from such a right, a fair decision for the people and the environment.
