Just over 1️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ days ago, the Electrification Alliance met with the European Commission's Deputy Director-General for Energy Mechthild Wörsdörfer to discuss the importance of working on an Electrification Action Plan during the European Commission's new mandate. 🤝 🔌Now that the Electrification Action Plan is included in Commission President von der Leyen's Mission Letter to the new Energy Commissioner-Designate Dan Jørgensen, we need the new European Commission to publish it during its first 100 days❗ On this #ThrowbackThursday watch EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association Secretary General Julie Beaufils, highlight the importance of putting #electrification at the top of the EU’s political agenda as part of our #100daysToElectrify campaign 🔌 Find out more 👇

👉 Today, SolarPower Europe presented their 2024 Solar Jobs Report, studying the evolution of the #solar ☀ job market in the EU and including their previsions for the next four years. With over 800,000 solar workers in Europe now, they expect to reach 1 million by 2027.   📜 The report includes some policy recommendations such as developing a strategy for #electrification skills or boosting the visibility and attractiveness of STEM renewable careers.   EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association General Secretary Julie Beaufils took part in the panel discussion along with representatives of the European Commission, European Builders Confederation EBC and EIT InnoEnergy. She highlighted the importance of long term investment in #skills. Providing a complete education that allows professionals to adapt to the needs of the market is key for the #greentransition. As an example, electrical installers usually undergo dual education (theory apprenticeship) for 3-4 years. This gives them a qualified and versatile basis to work on installing, maintaining and integrating electrified technologies together! ⚡ 🌱 Walburga Hemetsberger Dries Acke Christophe Lits Daniela Santopolo Spyros Mathioudakis Fruzsina (Fru) Csonka   #SolarJobsWeek #Skills4Climate #EnergyTransition #SkillsDevelopment

⏰ The time for electrification has come! via Euractiv.   It was great to speak to Nikolaus Johann Kurmayer about everything #electrification last week, alongside Chris Heron and Julie Beaufils, in our roles as the 2024 Chairs of the Electrification Alliance.    In a stroke of good timing, our interview came right before the Electrification Alliance's #100daysToElectrify message in Strasbourg this week, and the reference to an Electrification Action Plan within Commissioner-Designate for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen’s Mission Letter from President von der Leyen. 👏   As we say in our interview, the best way to support Europe’s competitiveness is through cheap, renewable energy for households and industry.   Now, we need the new European Commission to publish an Electrification Action Plan in its first 1️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ days❗ There's no time to lose.   Read the article 👇 https://lnkd.in/eJs2rySj   #ElectrifyNow #SolarSeptember #SolarforEurope #LetsFlex #flexibility    WindEurope Renewables Grid Initiative EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association International Copper Association Europe European Heat Pump Association AVERE - The European Association for Electromobility Eurelectric smartEn Smart Energy Europe Transport & Environment (T&E)
