The European Commission announced plans to cut electricity taxes and provide incentives for consumers to switch from fuel-burning cars and boilers, as the Iran war-driven energy crisis accelerates the shift to a clean economy. The May legal proposal would tax electricity less than oil and gas, reduce network charges, and allow states to shield consumers from high prices. However, the commission rejected windfall taxes on oil and gas companies and gas price caps, drawing criticism from green groups who called the measures "half measures."
