Reinforce climate advocacy efforts
During the meeting of membership, a further vote was taken to reinforce SolarPower Europe’s longstanding climate advocacy efforts. SolarPower Europe’s statutes – the foundation that instructs the work of the Association – now include formal support to the EU Green Deal objective of Climate Neutrality and a Net Zero economy in Europe. Specifically, they include a commitment to ‘work toward a 100% renewable, fossil-free energy system, by 2040’.
The SolarPower Europe Board of Directors is made up of 15 representatives of companies within SolarPower Europe’s membership, including 1 President, 3 Vice-Presidents, and 11 Directors. Each representative serves a three-year term. Acting as energy transition leaders, the Board sets SolarPower Europe’s high-level strategy, and empowers the SolarPower Europe team to translate the strategy into action.
Did you miss that? 35 trillion US dollars needed by 2030 for energy transition
Aristotelis Chantavas, President of SolarPower Europe said: “European solar is entering a new era. Solar is more in demand than ever, and citizens and policymakers are counting on us to deliver climate neutrality and energy security. It's a great honour to be re-elected as President of SolarPower Europe, and to be able to continue building the solar foundation of the new European energy system.” (hcn)
