4/9/2015: Baltic States+ Commission + promoters
agreement on the financial structure gas interconnector Poland – Lithuania (GIPL).
Both pipelines received in 2014 and 2015 significant grants under the EU's Connecting Europe Facility programme ('CEF').
Gazprom is reported to reduce gas prices in 2014 and 2015 by 16-22%.
New long term gas contract is being negotiated now with Gazprom.

6. 2 Internal energy market
Energy should flow freely across the EU – without any technical or regulatory barriers 2
connecting markets through interconnections
implementing and upgrading the internal market's software
enhancing regional cooperation
empowering consumers. 6

8. Baltic States electricity synchronisation
BRELL-ring
Wish of Baltic states to synchronise with Continental European Network
♥ sustained efforts
♥ Commission continue to support the objective
♥ Said in "Declaration on Energy Security of Supply of the Baltic States".
Synchronisation with Continental European Network
Enhanced integration with the Nordic Countries
Operation of the Baltic States as a self-standing region

11. 3 Energy efficiency FIRST
Moderation of demand
increasing energy efficiency
in particular in the building sector
promoting an energy-efficient and decarbonized transport sector
efficient products. 11

12. Concrete actions for energy efficiency
Review the Energy Efficiency Directive
Review the Energy Perfromance Building Directive
Review the Energy Labelling and Ecodesign Directives
Strengthened financial instruments to support investments in energy efficiency 12

13. New condensing boilers, save up to €275/y compared to older models.
reduce EU consumer's energy bills by up to 20%.
reduce energy imports 480 Mb/y

20. 5 Research & innovation
Developing EU technological leadership in low carbon technologies 5 20

21. 15 September 2015, Commission adopted the new Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan.
The upgraded SET Plan is the first R&I deliverable on which the 5th dimension of the Energy Union will be built. They are actions to accelerate the energy system's transformation, ensuring the EU's leadership in the development and deployment of low-carbon energy technologies.
Highly performant REN technologies
Reduce the cost of key technologies
Smart homes
Smartness of the energy system
New materials for buildings
EU industry less energy intensive
Battery sector to drive e-mobility forward
Sustainable transport solutions
CCS & CCU:
Safety of nuclear reactors
