🚨 NEW The incoming European Commission will work on an Electrification Action Plan! We asked and the European Commission has (almost) delivered 🎉 👏 We're delighted that European Commission President's Ursula von der Leyen's Mission Letter to the new Energy Commissioner-Designate Dan Jørgensen, calls for an Electrification Action Plan! Now, we need the 🆕 European Commission to publish this plan within its first 100 days❗ Read the Mission Letter here: https://lnkd.in/e-yehSUj Let's #electrify Europe, and move #electrification to the fast track ⏩ AVERE - The European Association for Electromobility European Heat Pump Association Eurelectric EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association International Copper Association Renewables Grid Initiative smartEn Smart Energy Europe SolarPower Europe Transport & Environment (T&E) WindEurope #100daystoElectrify #ElectrifyNow
Electrification Alliance
Non-profit Organizations
The Electrification Alliance advocates for an efficient and decarbonised Europe powered by clean electricity
About us
The European Association of Electrical Contractors, Avere, Eurelectric, the European Climate Foundation, the European Copper Institute, the European Heat Pump Association, smartEn, SolarPower Europe and WindEurope have joined forces to launch the Electrification Alliance, calling for electricity to be recognised as the key energy carrier for an efficient and decarbonised European future. The Electrification Alliance published a Declaration on Electrification which also has the support of a large number of associations, companies and NGOs. The Declaration states that as electricity in Europe decarbonises, it will reveal its true value as it becomes the key vector for achieving a decarbonised, energy efficient and digital European economy. The Declaration includes a commitment to support reductions in carbon intensity and the scale up of investment in non-emitting technologies like renewables, energy storage and smart grids, while promoting sectoral integration with the heating, cooling and transport sectors. The Declaration on Electrification calls for reforms under the current legislative review of European climate, energy and transport legislation, to accelerate the advancement of electrification in years to come. These will maximise the potential of decarbonised electricity and enabling efficient technologies to advance Europe’s competitiveness, economic growth, job creation, and the promotion of a sustainable, healthy society for European citizens. The Declaration calls on European policymakers to recognise that decarbonised electricity becomes a key vehicle for a sustainable European economy, to remove barriers to electrification, to roll-out the much needed widespread electric vehicle charging infrastructure and to enable the deployment of smart and efficient heating and cooling technologies.

🤔 The European Commission has proposed an Electrification Action Plan... but what exactly should it look like? Thank you to MEP Niels Fuglsang who hosted our #electrification lunch earlier today at the European Parliament in Strasbourg for plenary week. Our Electrification Alliance members joined MEPs to discuss Europe's electric future: ⚡️"Our Mission Solar 2040 report shows that boosting #flexibility and #storage🔋 can cut energy system costs by $260 billion by 2040, and save 25% on energy costs by 2030." - SolarPower Europe CEO Walburga Hemetsberger ⚡️"If we look at decarbonisation and competitiveness, electrification is the missing link. We can leverage it for the benefit of European industry." - Eurelectric Secretary-General Kristian Ruby ⚡️"We need to deploy, #electrify, and give opportunities to all — to include everyone in the energy transition🌍" - MEP Nicolás González Casares The main takeaway from our discussion❓ We need to accelerate electrification now to deliver a competitive, net-zero Europe. The Mission Letter to the new Energy Commissioner-Designate Dan Jørgensen, calls for an Electrification Action Plan. Once in office, we're calling for the European Commission to publish this plan within its first 100 days❗ Read our recommendations for what this plan must include 👇 https://lnkd.in/esv9UjU5 #100daysToElectrify 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) Eero Heinäluoma Elena Sancho Murillo Benedetta Scuderi Anna Stürgkh Eero Heinäluoma Sigrid Friis Chris Heron Paul Kenny Quentin de Hults Antonella Battaglini Michael Villa Dries Acke william todts Marija Dabrisiute Giles Dickson

🌍🔋 #DYK that, thanks to the country's electricity mix, a Swedish heat pump can run for an astonishing 100 days, before emitting the same amount of CO₂ that an oil boiler would produce in just 1 day? A lot can be done for our net-zero future in 100 days. The new European Commission should publish an Electrification Action Plan it is first 100 days.

It's important to take a moment to celebrate milestones in #electrification! In April, the European Commission approved a €267 million Slovak State aid measure to support Volvo Cars' new #EV plant. The plant will: ⚡️🚗 Produce 250,000 electric vehicles per year ⚡️🚗 Create at least 3,300 direct #jobs Once again, it is evident that #electrification creates value & jobs!

🛤️ EU railway lines are becoming more and more electrified! ⚡️ In fact, we have experienced a 31% growth since 1990 - meaning that the entire EU railway network is now 57% electrified. Where can we improve and become more sustainable? In countries like Ireland, Estonia, and Latvia, which continue to have very low railway electrification rates at 3%, 12%, and 13% respectively. Let's work together to make an #electrified rail transport a reality across Europe! Read more👇 https://lnkd.in/e_Rx783j #ElectrifyEU
