Climate change makes Europe the fastest warming continent in the world. Russia’s war against Ukraine and intensified geopolitical rivalry have profoundly altered the continent’s security landscape. Simultaneously, technological development is accelerating rapidly, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and computing. Clean energy, and especially electricity, underpins entire sectors and is essential in achieving Europe’s ambitious environmental, technological and economic goals.
Unlocking European economic competitiveness, sustainability and security is anchored in clean electrification and a shift away from fossil fuels—not only in power generation, but across the industry, transport and buildings sectors. The power industry must focus on delivering for customers and meeting their evolving needs. To achieve this, we strive for a reliable European power system that is both cost-efficient, sustainable and resilient. This requires robust European leadership based on the ambitions of the Green Deal, reinforced by market-driven and technology-neutral regulation and underpinned by a deeply integrated power market built on seamless cooperation across Europe.
The Eurelectric Presidency Team is committed to advancing a forward-looking power industry that facilitates a competitive, sustainable and secure Europe. We focus on three strategic priorities: Customer-driven electrification to boost industrial competitiveness; Energy security and security of supply for resilience; and Digital transformation to prepare for the future.
