Question for written answer E-002963/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Moritz Körner (Renew)
In September 2022, speaking in the European Parliament, Commission President von der Leyen announced a legislative proposal against high energy prices, which would affect renewable electricity producers as well as oil and gas companies. She said that the proposal would ‘raise more than 140 billion euros for Member States to cushion the blow directly’ and the money would benefit ‘those who need it most’.
Can the Commission say how many billions of so-called ‘excessive profits’ have been raised for the Member States to date, broken down by Member State?
