Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson (pictured) was in Montevideo earlier this week to deepen the bilateral energy co-operation between the EU and Uruguay. The Commissioner's visit is part of the implementation of the commitments made as part of the EU-Uruguay Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on renewable energy, energy efficiency and renewable hydrogen, which was signed in Brussels last year.

Commissioner Simson co-chaired the fourth EU-Uruguay Energy Dialogue with Uruguay's Minister of Industry, Energy and Mining, Elisa Facio, to discuss the implementation of the MoU, with a particular focus on green hydrogen and energy efficiency. The Commissioner also participated in the fifth European Investment Forum on Energy, where she delivered a keynote speech, available here, and announced a project to support the implementation of the Green Hydrogen Roadmap in Uruguay by the EU.

The Commissioner then held meetings and exchanges with national authorities, including the President of the Parliament and Vice-President of Uruguay, Beatriz Argimon. She also met with representatives of EU energy businesses operating in the country.
