Europacable

We look forward to working with our friends from ENTSO-E and T&D Europe to develop common approaches to speed up grid deployment, reduce redundancies and increase efficiencies. Europe has all it needs to decarbonise: we have the technologies, the experience, the expertise, the people and the capacities to electrify Europe. Let’s work together to make Europe’s sustainable energy transition a reality!

On behalf of Europacable, Alberto Lampasona, Senior Director Public Affairs, conveyed the following messages at today’s CRU Wire & Cable 2024 conference in Amsterdam. ▶️Europe has all it needs to decarbonise: European cable manufacturers have the technologies, the expertise, the people and the capacities to supply the cables needed to empower Europe’s electrification. ▶️High and extra high voltage land and subsea cables are a strategic, net zero-grid technology. European cable manufacturers are global technology leaders. ▶️European cable manufacturers are actively pushing high sustainability performances both in production and in their products. To ensure the future competitiveness of sustainable European production, these factors need to be valued and accounted for, including in tendering. #CRUwirecable CRU Conferences

Europacable CEOs stressed their commitment to invest more to supply Europe with the cable systems its needs to deploy its decarbonisation plans. To safeguard Europe’s grid technology sovereignty, to ensure a sustainable energy transition “made in Europe for Europe” and to secure their global technology leadership, European cable manufacturers urged EU and national actors to account for: ➡️Confirmed demand visibility beyond 2030; ➡️Fair market conditions; and ➡️Sustainability to be factored in, including in tendering processes and public procurement. Europe’s leading cable manufacturer’s CEOs praised Mrs Simson for the prominent visibility that the EU Commission and all EU Institutions have placed on electricity networks and grid technologies over the last two years. They urged that these should remain at the centre of the EU policy agenda for the next legislative term. Europacable and their member companies confirmed their determination to work with the new EU Institutions to empower Europe’s sustainable decarbonisation.

High-quality, cutting edge and sustainable #cables deliver secure #electricity to nearly half a billion Europeans. #Europe has all the technology know-how it needs to build its grids: We have the technologies, the expertise, the people and the capacities. European cable manufacturers are investing boldly. “Cables made in Europe for Europe” are essential for our energy transition and our energy independence. #GridsEmpower Manufacturing, learn how here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eimmtvKA

Our competitive 🇪🇺 #EU economy relies on our ⚙️ #manufacturing. A reliable supply of direct electricity, delivered via a robust grid, will ensure European prosperity for generations to come. Let’s continue to leverage our global leadership in cable manufacturing to connect Europe, boost our industries, and drive innovation. Volker Wendt, Secretary-General of Europacable, underlines that we have the expertise to expand our grids – what's needed is continued EU support to empower “cables made in Europe for Europe”. #GridsEmpower Manufacturing, learn how: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eimmtvKA

Optic fibres have radically changed the telecommunications industry by providing a faster, more reliable and more secure way to transmit data over long distances. Volker Wendt, Secretary-General of Europacable explains how silicones support that revolution.

With over €4bn of investments announced in 2023, Europe’s leading cable manufacturers are responding to the increased demand for land and submarine cables to connect offshore renewables and interconnect Europe. With that, the grid technology components like cables will be available. This said, a bottleneck may arise from securing sufficient skilled engineers and project managers to build Europe’s future grids. To attract and keep future talent, Europe’s grid technology companies need to be attractive, vibrant and successful. For European cable manufacturers to secure their global technology leadership, the following three needs have to be accounted for: ➡️𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟎; ➡️𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬; 𝐚𝐧𝐝 ➡️𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐁𝐀𝐌 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐑𝐌𝐀.

“Europe has all it needs: we have technology, knowhow, expertise, people & capacity to provide Europe with #powercables it needs to #decarbonise. And European #cableindustry is investing boldly: Europacable members alone announced over 4BN EUR investments last year. We are the world’s #gridtechnology leaders – let’s keep it that way! Cables made in Europe for Europe.” These are the messages Europacable Secretary-General Volker Wendt conveyed at today’s Renewables Grid Initiative Energy&Solidarity conference in Brussels. Happy Bday Renewables Grid Initiative!Looking forward to continuing to work together for an electrified future for Europe!

Important news regarding the revised CPR! The final text of the revised Construction Products Regulation (CPR) has been adopted with a vast majority during the European Parliament Plenary Session! Congratulations to Christian Doleschal & Anna-Theresa Bach! This important milestone sets the stage for increasing #digitalisation and making #constructionproducts more #sustainable. Now it is time for the Council to give its own final formal approval. Upon publication in the Official Journal of the EU, the new Regulation will provide significant changes, influencing the future of construction for our European Single Market! https://lnkd.in/eXpMDFnT
