Recital 4

(4) The Facility’s ability to support reforms and investments dedicated to diversifying energy supplies, in particular fossil fuels, as well as to increase the resilience, security and sustainability of the Union’s energy system, thereby contributing to energy affordability and strengthening the strategic autonomy of the Union alongside an open economy, should be enhanced. To achieve those objectives, the Union needs to increase energy efficiency and the reliability and resilience of transmission and distribution networks, to promote system flexibility, to minimise congestions, including by means of increased grid and electricity storage capacity, to promote digitalisation, and to ensure resilient supply chains, cybersecurity and the protection and climate adaptation of all infrastructure, while reducing strategic energy dependencies.
