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.
The electrification of Europe’s vehicle fleets will be the catalyst for clean mobility throughout the 2020s, is one of the findings of a study by Eurelectric and EY.
Distribution grids are the backbone of the digital and energy transition. But to be fit-for-purpose in an increasingly decarbonised, decentralised and digitalised power system, there is an urgent need to ramp up investments in Europe’s distribution grids.
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are transforming business operations and processes in the power sector, leading to greater cost savings, increased efficiency and new services. But also risks like data access and data protection have to be tackled.
Every week we introduce you to one of the movers and shakers of some of the leading companies in the solar and renewables industries:
Climate policies are likely to impact harder on the low income population in the short term, unless they are accompanied by targeted mitigating measures. A new study outlines several remedial solutions that could be considered to cushion the effects on vulnerable households, while ensuring sustainable growth for the benefit of all.
