Today, the Electrification Alliance unveils a new #ElectrificationManifesto urging the European Commission to fast-track the electrification of Europe. At our launch event at Audi Brussels’s #EV plant, Commissioner Kadri Simson agreed on the urgent need to ramp up direct electrification. ⚡📜 The Electrification Manifesto calls for a dedicated "Electrification Action Plan" in the first 100 days of the incoming European Commission's mandate. It also calls for 👇👇 🎯 A target of 35% electrification of final energy use across the EU by 2030 ⚡ #Electrification as an integral element of Member States’ National Energy and Climate Plans #NECPs 📈 Massive investments in #electricitygrids 🔜 An immediate reform of the TEN-E Regulation and Ten-Year Network Development Plan processes for both #TSOs and #DSOs ⚖️ More political oversight to ensure #grid planning delivers on #netzero 👩🔧 Programmes to attract #skilledworkers for #electrificationjobs 💶 Funding and financing programmes for smart, direct electrification 💪 Empowerment of end-users to utilise the full potential of demand-side management WindEurope Renewables Grid Initiative EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association European Copper Institute European Heat Pump Association SolarPower Europe AVERE - The European Association for Electromobility Eurelectric smartEn Smart Energy Europe European Climate Foundation

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.

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

EDF's recent Net-Zero scenario shows how, by 2050, #electrification can reduce: 🏢 🚌 Energy consumption of transport and buildings by 70%, and 🏭 ⛽ CO2 emissions from industry by up to 90% 💬 “If you look at the numbers, we’re not on the right track,” EDF Strategy Director Catherine BAUBY said. “The share of electricity in final energy consumption in Europe has been stagnating. Our study shows that if we delay electrification any further there will be very costly consequences, and we can’t afford that.” Therefore, the phase out of fossil fuels and the reduction of final energy demand need to go hand-in-hand and three levers can help us accomplish these goals: ⚡ Electrification of uses ♻ Energy efficiency beyond electrification 👬 Behavioural changes ⏰ To make this a reality, the new European Commission must publish an Electrification Action Plan in its first 100 days.

⚡ Agora Energiewende joins our call for an EU Electrification Action Plan to further accelerate the rollout of technologies that support the phasing out of fossil fuels. 🌡️ 🏭 Their recent study reveals that direct #electrification has can replace the majority of fossil fuels used to provide industrial process heat. 👎 "Process heat constitutes the single most significant energy use by industry", as 3/4 of industrial CO2 emissions result from burning fossil fuels that provide this process heat. Only 4% of all energy used to generate process heat comes from #electricity. 👍 Agora's study concludes: "Direct electrification technologies expected to be available by 2035, could meet 90 percent of the energy demand not yet electrified by European industry."

🎤🙌 It's festival season! Did you know? Music festivals across Europe are using renewable electricity to power their parties! 1️⃣ - #RockWerchter (🇧🇪) and Bolt installed the first-ever wind turbine at a Belgian festival. The 20-meter-tall turbine supplied an average of 110 kWh of electricity per day. They also added a solar installation covering 170m2 to supply the festival with solar power. Three super batteries collected the electricity and stored it. Rock Werchter said two stages in the festival ran entirely on locally generated green power, significantly reducing the use of diesel generators. 📷 Stein Van der Looij 2️⃣ - #Glastonbury (🇬🇧) and Octopus Energy partnered to install ‘Gusty Spinfield’- a 28-meter-tall turbine. 'Gusty' powered the food vendors - feeding up to 300 fridges with #renewableelectricity. And that's not all, Greg Jackson, founder of Octopus Energy, made his Glastonbury stage debut and talked about how renewable electricity is revolutionising communities and driving sustainability within the music industry. 📷 Octopus Energy 3️⃣ - Paradise City Festival (🇧🇪) and Eneco Belgium worked hand in hand to run the festival on 66% renewable energy. How did they achieve that? 33% of the energy comes from the 372m2 solar panels spread across the grounds and the pond surrounding the festival. The remaining 33% came from a green electric cabin which got its power from a local #solar panel park. They also had battery containers that stored the energy generated by solar panels. The Contrast Stage was 99.22% powered by solar energy. The International Greener Future Awards named it the most sustainable festival in the world in 2024. 📷 Paradise City Festival & Eneco Belgium 4️⃣ - Mad Cool festival (🇪🇸) and Iberdrola Renewables achieved the full #electrification of their stages with 100% green energy. They also reduced and optimised energy use through efficient lighting. They had LED technology to light up the bars, tents, gathering areas, and VIP zones. Dua Lipa, Sum 41 and Avril Lavigne are some of the big names that performed on the 100% sustainable stages. 📷 Iberdrola Music Pieterjan Verhaeghen Trippin Esther Koshari Jimmy Demeyer Resident Advisor DJ Mag
