Electrification can help restore competitiveness, cut fossil fuel dependence and unlock economic benefits for European industry, according to a new study commissioned by Eurelectric.
Last Friday marked the three year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Beyond its military, one of the country’s fiercest defenders has been its power sector. Restoring destroyed plants, preventing blackouts and moving equipment, all while investing in new renewable capacity: Ukraine’s power sector is a masterful example of resilience from which Europe can learn, says Eurelectric.
Electric vehicle owners in Europe could save between €450 and €2,900 annually by using both smart and bidirectional charging, according to a new study by Eurelectric and EY. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology will play a key role in unlocking these savings.
This March marked the third month in a row that Europe broke a historic power generation record. According to Eurelectric, solar now accounts for over 10% of the continent’s electricity mix.
Industrial electrification in Europe is struggling under high upfront costs, long investment cycles, rising energy prices, unfair taxation, and fossil fuel subsidies that still exceed €55 billion a year. Eurelectric is calling for an Electrification Bank as part of the EU Clean Industrial Deal.
A new study commissioned by Eurelectric underlines the need for a new approach to energy security that also reduces commodities exposure and dependence on fuel imports, and boosts crisis resilience.
On Saturday (February 8) the Baltic states officially left the Russian-led integrated power system, joined during the Soviet rule under the BRELL agreement, to synchronise with the European power grid (UCTE). Eurelectric applauds this also as an important step towards implementing the energy transition in Europe.
Grids are one of the bottlenecks for more renewable power. A new report of Eurelectric “Technologies supporting Grids for Speed” shows how existing technologies can optimise the existing grid, facilitate renewables integration and lower the overall investment bill.
Grid digitalisation can improve power system efficiency in Europe, but a untapped potential remains, according to a new study Wired for Tomorrow of Eurelectric. It shows what matters.
Three quarters of the electricity generated in the EU this year came from clean energy – shows Eurelectric’s Power Barometer 2024. While the power sector continues to lead on decarbonisation, Europe’s economy is not electrifying fast enough.
Europe’s distribution grids need to be urgently modernised to enable massive electrification of transport, heating and industry, integrate renewables and withstand more frequent extreme weather and cyber threats, Eurelectric demands.
The generation of clean electricity in Europe is setting records. In the first half of 2024, renewables made up more than 50% of all power generation in Europe while nuclear provided a stable share of 24% - according to latest figures from Eurelectric’s electricity data platform.
SolarPower Europe and Eurelectric welcome the re-relection of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen by the European Parliament. They appeal to rapidly accelerate energy flexibility and electrification.
A coalition of European associations, among them SolarPower Europe and Eurelectric calls to recognise PPAs for reducing the carbon footprint of electricity used in battery manufacturing.
Eurelectric presents a guidebook for sustainable deployment of grid and renewable projects. The guide elaborates 12 key principles for biodiversity and environmental protection and contains real-life case studies as well as concrete steps for developers to follow when siting, planning, building, operating and decommissioning renewables or grid projects.
The electricity industry and energy intensives join forces to boost Europe’s industrial competitiveness in a net-zero economy.
Meeting the amibitous goals for e-mobility in Europe requires a more interconnected ecosystem where data can be freely exchanged among e-mobility players to ensure strategic infrastructure planning, cost savings, flexibility and improved charging, Eurelectric demands.
Matching energy consumption with clean energy on an hourly basis is one of the most impactful ways for corporates to accelerate the energy systems’ decarbonisation., Eurelectric states.
Solar energy is overtaking fossil fuels across Europe. With over 600 GW of total installed solar capacity targeted by 2030, Europe’s electricity network must get ready to accommodate solar’s exponential growth and enable faster decarbonisation.
Higher investments and upgraded infrastructure are urgently needed to enable a tripling in electrification rates by 2050 in order to reach Europe`s decarbonization goals. With 6½ years until 2030, Europe must attract unprecedented investments for grid expansion, shows Eurelectric’s Power Barometer 2023.
The sector association Eurelectric calls for more electricity distribution grid capacity to enable Europe’s energy transition .
Eurelectric, the European electricity industry trade, body unveiled a landmark study highlighting three scenarios for Europe to achieve net zero.
81 % of EU habitats have been severely deteriorated by unsustainable activities. This alarming reality is intrinsically linked to climate change: according to world leading climate and biodiversity experts, greenhouse gas emissions will become the leading driver for ecological loss and agricultural disruptions.
Despite exponential growth of the EV market and high electrification ambitions, the electricity grid will remain stable, reveals new study by EY and Eurelectric. However, it will take planning and coordination.
Leading Associations representing the electricity sector in Italy and Europe are calling on the Italian Government to withdraw Article 16 of the Italian Law Decree 04/2022 (“DL Sostegni ter”) and to initiate a constructive dialogue to define effective and balanced solutions to tackle high energy prices.
