🚨 50% Emissions Cut! The power sector has halved its emissions since 2008, according to today's newly released Power Barometer: https://bit.ly/3N6Sf9s This marks the largest emissions reduction to date. Yet, the climate clock is ticking faster. Europe’s #electrification rate has stagnated at 23% over the past decade - well short of the 50% target set for 2040. Another concern for the sector is the growing price volatility, with electricity prices occasionally dropping below zero (mostly during solar peaks). This makes it harder to build a strong business case for further renewable investments. Given these trends, Eurelectric calls on policymakers to: 1 - Implement the #GreenDeal 2 - Maintain a market-compatible investment framework 3 - Establish a clear electrification strategy for a competitive, decarbonised European industry. “The missing piece between going green and staying competitive is electrifying. Industrial sectors hold a huge potential to electrify further based on available technologies”, said Eurelectric’s Secretary General Kristian Ruby Explore the #PowerBarometer24 for an in-depth look at the state of Europe’s energy transition: https://bit.ly/3N6Sf9s European Commission | Niels Fuglsang | European Parliament | Sam Peacock | SSE plc | Stefan Håkansson | GFG Alliance | #energy #electricity #electrification #decarbonisation

Voice of European electricity. Leading the energy transition through electrification #WePowerEU #Grids4Speed
About us
At Eurelectric, we envision a future where the European power sector has a net positive impact on the environment and climate in a carbon-neutral world. To make that happen, we are on a mission to lead Europe’s energy transition with clean and renewable electricity How? We work with around 1,500 industry experts to cover all the major trends and developments in our sector - from markets to energy policy, environment & sustainable development, retail customers or networks. Our policy positions, developed with our members, are brought to policymakers and adjacent sectors by our team and members, providing effective representation in public affairs. In our work, we value above all societal engagement, climate leadership, and transparency: - Societal engagement is achieved through championing electrification. It creates jobs, improves air quality, provides customer convenience and reduces our dependence on imported fuels - Climate leadership is demonstrated through commitments, innovation and proactiveness in driving the decarbonisation and electrification agendas at the local, regional, national, and European levels - Transparency is maintained by reporting our papers and letters in our advocacy meetings register, as well as being a signatory of the EU Transparency Register Consensus building is central to our work as we seek to lead the charge on Europe’s decarbonisation agenda. Our regular meetings with the members enable discussions both on technical and strategic levels, aiming to address current sectoral issues and the long-term evolution of our sector. Their country-specific viewpoints and discussions inform our policy recommendations, position papers and studies. These exchanges are extremely valuable as they lead to the development of solid and factual evidence, which is essential when engaging with policymakers on the latest proposals on the EU agenda or setting the trend for future transformations. That’s Eurelectric: leading the energy transition⚡

Today we join the United Nations in celebrating World Habitat Day 🌱 80% of Europe’s natural habitats are in danger and #climatechange will be the main driver of biodiversity loss by 2050, but clean electricity can become a key solution in the fight against ecological loss and climate change. The power sector is committed to fighting climate change and biodiversity loss simultaneously, by adopting a nature-inclusive approach in the design and deployment of renewables and grid projects. Learn from Geoff Hamilton how ESB Networks managed to restore biodiversity in a retired substation in Ireland 👇 Our #PowerPlant 2.0 report, developed with WSP, is a toolbox for biodiversity integration combined with qualitative success factors and quantitative methods. Discover with us how developers can retain natural habitats, protect endangered species, and even create new possibilities for wildlife to flourish 👉 https://bit.ly/4bVerON Paul Wilczek | Aida García | Adrian Lindermuth | Eleonora Rinaldi | Jonny Miller | WSP in the UK #decarbonisation #NetworksForNetZero #climatechange #biodiversity #decarbonisation #electrification
