2024 has been a rollercoaster of a year 🎢 From the EU elections to a new European Commission taking office with Ursula von der Leyen back for a second term, to a series of reports we launched to guide Europe towards a decarbonised future through electrification - #EVision, #Grids4Speed, #Wired4Tomorrow, #PowerPlant 2.0, and Power Barometer, to name a few. Let’s have a look back together at 2024 in this last #FridayFeature of the year 👇 ____________________________________________ Are you or someone you know interested in regular updates from the power sector?

Industrial electrification: a win-win for Europe’s competitiveness and decarbonisation goals ⚡ Complex challenges require joint solutions. With high energy prices, global competition, and red tape impacting Europe's energy-intensive industries, a critical question arises: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴? In his latest op-ed, our Policy Director Cillian O'Donoghue reflects on lessons from the 2022 energy crisis, where industries like aluminium, zinc, and silicon faced production shutdowns due to unaffordable energy prices. Today, as Europe's power demand declines by 7.5% (2021-2023) amidst industrial slowdowns, the need to align electrification with competitiveness is more urgent than ever. Read the op-ed on Euractiv to learn why industrial electrification is the best path forward for Europe’s economy and its climate goals: https://lnkd.in/e8Xnp2sB #energy #energytransition #electrification #industry #competitiveness

“We have added massive renewables and now the reserves of the systems are just gone and we need to add more infrastructure so that we can continue with the transition” -Leo Birnbaum on Euronews 👇 Today, our electrification rate stands at 23%, but we must accelerate to achieve decarbonisation. Currently, we are investing around €35 billion per year in our electricity distribution system, but this figure needs to rise to €70 billion annually. However, not investing would prove far more costly. Without a grid ready for the #energytransition, we risk facing bottlenecks, spiking energy prices, and diminished industrial competitiveness across Europe. 📺 Watch the full episode of #TheBigQuestion with Hannah Brown: https://lnkd.in/eG9dcARJ #energytransition #electricity #decarbonisation #electrification

During today's Energy Council, Ministers will exchange views on the priorities for the next legislative cycle and the future of energy policy. Here are our views on how to promote affordable electricity 👉 https://lnkd.in/dKTSpQmP In 2025, the European Commission will put forward an 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 to support industries and households throughout the transition. To make #electricity more affordable, we need: ▪️ Massive deployment of more homegrown renewable and clean electricity ▪️ Electrification: in a net-zero scenario, direct electrification delivers three- to fivefold energy-efficiency improvements for end users, alongside the decarbonisation benefits of a renewable and clean energy mix.  ▪️ Long-term contracts such as Power Purchase Agreements (#PPAs) and Contracts for Difference (#CfDs) help transfer the benefits of renewable and clean energy to consumers.  ▪️ Mainstream flexibility both at the demand side and supply side. ▪️ Implementation of the agreed electricity #MarketDesign to empower consumers ⚠️ We caution interventions regarding energy markets: short-term measures – including certain recommendations in the #DraghiReport – could have the opposite of the intended effect by distorting market dynamics, increasing system costs and ultimately eroding investor confidence at a time when their capital is crucially needed. #energy #electrification #decarbonisation

Europe’s path to net zero must include its industry, or it will fall behind. Eurelectric has long emphasised that electrification is the missing link between going green and staying competitive. In this week’s #FridayFeature, we explore Europe’s industrial competitiveness and the single and collective actions we took to promote it👇 ____________________________________________ Are you or someone you know interested in regular updates from the power sector?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (#CBAM) puts a price on carbon emissions ‘embedded’ in imports to the EU, extending the EU’s carbon price beyond its borders. By dispatching the incentive to pollute outside the EU to avoid the carbon price, we take another step towards a decarbonised Union.

We're among the 100+ countries & organisations supporting global storage & grid targets for a flexible #energytransition! ⚡ The COP29 Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge has the support of 58 governments, including major players from all continents such as Brazil, Kenya, the USA, Ukraine, Pakistan, Morocco, Uruguay, Congo, Peru, Venezuela, Malaysia, Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, numerous European countries, and dozens of organisations. These signatories are taking the lead in implementing the ambitious #3xRenewables target agreed at COP28, with action-oriented goals for #storage and #grids set by the COP29 Azerbaijan Presidency: ✅ Deploying 1,500 GW of energy storage ✅ Doubling global grid investments ✅ Developing 25 million kilometers of grid infrastructure by 2030 This marks the first time that energy storage and grids have been officially acknowledged as imperative components of the energy transition. They are essential for providing the flexibility needed to achieve the tripling of renewables target, turning ambition into action. Wider participation is now required to fully unlock the potential of renewable energy and ensure energy security for all. With #COP30 on the horizon, we call for further endorsements and translation of these targets into actionable national plans. 🔗 Support the pledge and see more: https://lnkd.in/dciexAW2 #COP29 #3xRenewables #Time4Action #NowDeliverChange

⚡ Sparking up the holiday spirit! Yesterday our office was buzzing with festive cheer as we powered through a Christmas lunch unlike any other! 🎄 We shared culinary treasures from our home countries, and plugged into our traditional Eurelectric Christmas Quiz - shout-outs to our master of ceremony Augustin Chabrol and to Giuseppina Rondinelli (Assoc CIPD) for organising 👏 There's no better way to celebrate a year of successes and achievements - here’s to a season filled with new projects, teamwork, and celebrations! 🥂 Kristian Ruby | Cillian O'Donoghue | Marianne Leonet Karu #Christmas #energy #electricity #electrification #decarbonisation
