📣 This is our "appeal of 18 June" to EU leaders: what will you work on for the next 5 years? 👨🔧 Re-industrialisation? #Digitalisation? #Energytransition? Supply chain resilience? A common thread to all these files, and many more, is: recruiting the #skilled talents able to make Europe thrive in a complex world. With 1️⃣ 7️⃣ other European associations, we just reached out to the 27 governments and the European Commission to highlight the relevance of integrating further the labour agenda with the broader European agenda. 🙋♀️ Policymakers must address systemic skills and labour shortages as a top priority for Europe’s transformation, so that the labour market is an enabler rather than an obstacle to realise the objectives set in Europe for the past 5 years. Furthermore, focusing on #skills and #workforce development is a significant opportunity to respond to European citizens and residents’ aspiration to secure long-term, fulfilling careers.   🌿 In this letter, we also highlight new skills provisions that both the Commission and Member States will have to implement by the end of this year, in compliance with the revised Energy Efficiency Directive #EED.   👉 👉 👉 Read us: https://lnkd.in/egbTs9-E 👈 👈 👈 The 18 co-signatories are: AVERE - The European Association for Electromobility, #CECAPI – European committee of electrical installation equipment manufacturers, European Builders Confederation EBC, European Heat Pump Association, EPB Center, European Alliance to Save Energy (EU-ASE), eu.bac, EUEW - European Union of Electrical Wholesalers, Efficient Buildings Europe, Europacable, EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association, GCP EUROPE, International Copper Association Europe, LightingEurope, REHVA, SolarPower Europe, T&D Europe , WindEurope

EuropeOn is one of the 400 organisations teaming up to call on EU policymakers to confirm the #GreenDeal in the new policy cycle. Since 2019, the Green Deal has set a vision with clear objectives. Our #electrical contracting companies and professionals now want to deliver and avoid any stop & go. This would be detrimental to our capacity to build a society defined by #decarbonisation, comfort, #energyefficiency and smartness.

🆕 We've officially launched our #100daysToElectrify campaign!   🤝 Yesterday, the CEOs and Secretary-Generals of the Electrification Alliance members met with Mechthild Wörsdörfer, Deputy Director-General of #DGENER of the European Commission, to discuss our call for an Electrification Action Plan, and mark the kick-start of #100daysToElectrify! With this campaign, we are calling on the Commission to publish an Electrification Action Plan within the first 100 days of its new mandate. 💯   Why the urgency? Despite electricity having become more green, efficient and better spread in the past 20 years, we are still only at a 23% electrification rate across Europe. When decarbonising, this must change! 🌿 In our manifesto, we have already called for a clear focus on electrification ⚡ with the following targets 🎯 :  ✅ A minimum 35% electrification by 2030  ✅ 50% electrification by 2040  ✅ Up to 71% electrification by 2050   The #100DaysToElectrify campaign will showcase concrete examples of what we can achieve in 100 days, while encouraging the Commission to release its Electrification Action plan within 100 days of its new mandate. 💪   Stay tuned over the coming weeks and months and support us on our mission to accelerate electrification to across Europe!    Read our manifesto 👉 https://lnkd.in/esv9UjU5 WindEurope Renewables Grid Initiative EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association International Copper Association Europe European Heat Pump Association SolarPower Europe AVERE - The European Association for Electromobility Eurelectric smartEn Smart Energy Europe European Climate Foundation

The #EUelections2024 are just around the corner, and will be of critical importance to ensure the #GreenDeal and its ambitions live on and are implemented. EuropeOn and its members are committed to a swift #EnergyTransition, powered by #electrification and leading to the creation of skilled and local job opportunities. To this end, EuropeOn's Manifesto calls on incoming EU policymakers to set a clear path for clean #electrification and secure enough qualified workers to implement our objectives. This week, we hear from Yannick Saint Roch, CEO of our French member-association SERCE - Les entreprises de la transition énergétique et numérique, on the importance of #electrification for the #EnergyTransition and it can lead to the creation of numerous purposeful and future-proof #skilled #jobs.

The Year of Skills may be over, but work on the #green workforce is just starting. Indeed, the Energy Efficiency Directive has recently been adopted with fresh provisions aiming to address workforce shortages in the energy (efficiency) sector. 1️⃣ By 11 October 2024, the Commission will have to design or set up a framework for an attractiveness campaign 2️⃣ By 31 December 2024, Member States will have to assess the gap between available and in-demand professionals Implementation will be key for these two new provisions to be fruitful and ensure that Europe has the necessary workforce to reach its climate and energy targets, but also to reap the full socio-economic benefits of the #EnergyTransition. EuropeOn has just released 2 new publications aiming to support and inform the implementation of these 2 new measures.
