Electrification Alliance

Today, the Electrification Alliance unveils a new #ElectrificationManifesto urging the European Commission to fast-track the electrification of Europe. At our launch event at Audi Brussels’s #EV plant, Commissioner Kadri Simson agreed on the urgent need to ramp up direct electrification. ⚡📜 The Electrification Manifesto calls for a dedicated "Electrification Action Plan" in the first 100 days of the incoming European Commission's mandate. It also calls for 👇👇 🎯 A target of 35% electrification of final energy use across the EU by 2030 ⚡ #Electrification as an integral element of Member States’ National Energy and Climate Plans #NECPs 📈 Massive investments in #electricitygrids 🔜 An immediate reform of the TEN-E Regulation and Ten-Year Network Development Plan processes for both #TSOs and #DSOs ⚖️ More political oversight to ensure #grid planning delivers on #netzero 👩🔧 Programmes to attract #skilledworkers for #electrificationjobs 💶 Funding and financing programmes for smart, direct electrification 💪 Empowerment of end-users to utilise the full potential of demand-side management WindEurope Renewables Grid Initiative EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association European Copper Institute European Heat Pump Association SolarPower Europe AVERE - The European Association for Electromobility Eurelectric smartEn Smart Energy Europe European Climate Foundation

📒 In our Manifesto last year we called for concrete action to accelerate #Electrification to ensure that direct electrification plays a guiding role in delivering an efficient, secure, and decarbonised energy system. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dgEF_aGJ 🇪🇺 Now, in light of the upcoming European elections and in order to contribute to an impactful legislature 2024/2029, smartEn Smart Energy Europe identified 6⃣ top priorities that would strengthen the EU competitiveness, security and sustainability with efficient and flexible consumers as the driving force.

🆕 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

Decarbonising industry is crucial to reach #European #climate & #energy targets ⚡️ 💚 One of the most effective principles to achieve this is direct #electrification: "Prioritise electrification of applications and processes as the most efficient industrial decarbonisation strategy."

Our Electrification Alliance member SolarPower Europe has just published their 🆕 #NECPs analysis, showing that EU countries are increasing 2030 solar goals by 90% but #grid planning is falling short and threatening electrification. ⚡️   Despite the boost in ambition, NECPs don't reflect the planning needed for grid deployment, flexibility, and digitalisation. 👇   🚨 Most countries have no clear plan to ensure electricity doesn’t go to waste. 🚨 2️⃣ countries have set plans for their local-level distribution grids.   Jonathan Bonadio, Senior Policy Advisor at SolarPower Europe said: “Europe risks putting the cart before the horse. Energy system planning needs to be in sync with energy generation targets."   ➡ Demand-side tools can be used to ease pressure on the grid and support the system to add more renewables. ➡ Strong distribution grids ease pressure on high-voltage lines and support the electrification of local communities.   Read SolarPower Europe’s full NECP analysis 👇 https://lnkd.in/ehXktKg5   #LetsFlex #ElectrifyNow

Electrification is the way forward for Europe to achieve its #decarbonisation goals ⚡ The European Commission's Communication on the 2040 Climate Target said Europe would need to have 50% electrification by 2040 to reduce emissions in line with their ambitious recommendation of 90% emissions reductions by 2040, compared to 1990 levels. However, electrification currently accounts for only 23% of final energy consumption in Europe. This is why our Manifesto for the EU Elections calls for an Electrification Action Plan to be launched within the first 100 days of the next legislative term. But why is #electrification the ace up Europe's sleeve, and how can it unlock its potential to reach net zero? Michael Liebreich and Arshad Mansoor will tackle these questions during an Electric Talk at Eurelectric's #PowerSummit24. Full programme here👉 https://bit.ly/3TlMSqQ

In our Manifesto for the EU Elections, we called for an Electrification Action Plan introducing concrete actions to accelerate electrification 👉 https://lnkd.in/dgEF_aGJ One of the enablers for #electrification is ensuring that the power infrastructure will be ready to accommodate the growing number of electric solutions that will be connected to the grid. Our member Eurelectric today published a dedicated 1-pager on the matter, check it out 👇
