How can REPowerEU chapters make or break local transitions?

European Members States are currently drafting the REPower EU chapters of their National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). Soon, we will have 27 different plans that are supposed to ensure the EU overcomes the same massive crisis but also achieves similar energy & climate targets.

We had a closer look at some of the NRRPs approved by the EU Commission at the end of 2022, to understand the involvement (or lack thereof) of local governments in the process and the spending priorities. We also identified some inspiring measures that could drive the drafting of the new chapters.
