Energy Transition Survey Results and Insights

This report presents the findings of a survey conducted by ENGIE in partnership with the CSA institute, focusing on the perspectives of European citizens regarding the energy transition. The survey, which involved 10,000 individuals across ten countries, reveals that a significant majority, 89%, support advancing the energy transition, while only 6% are in favor of reversing progress. Despite this support, concerns about the feasibility and financial implications of the transition are prevalent, with nearly 30% of respondents doubting the availability of necessary technologies. The report outlines that 64% of Europeans have already taken personal actions to support the transition, although many advocate for a cautious approach. The document further discusses the critical need for a low-carbon energy system that incorporates renewable energies and emphasizes the importance of addressing public concerns to ensure widespread acceptance and participation in the energy transition. Recommendations for European decision-makers are also included to facilitate this process.
