Power Barometer 2025: In shape for the future
Our findings confirm that the power sector continues to lead the decarbonisation race, with clean power generating 72% of EU electricity year-to-date, and fossil fuels falling to record lows. Crucially, the EU industrial sector is showing some very first signs of recovery. While energy-intensive industries in Germany and Italy remain fragile, industrial output in Spain, […]
ESMA call for evidence on comprehensive approach for the simplification of financial transaction reporting
DG ENER public consultation for the Citizens’ Energy Package
Implementation and action on national level The main actions to materialise consumer rights, empower consumers, and fight energy poverty must happen on national and local level. The Citizens’ Energy Package will complement the ample existing EU legislation guiding and prompting Member States to act in these areas. Hence, Eurelectric sees the implementation of the consumer-related […]
From Backlog to Breakthrough Managing Connection Queues in Distribution Networks
Executive summary and key messages Summary The rapid electrification of industries, transport and heating, alongside the integration of renewable energy sources, has led to significant connection queue backlogs in electricity distribution networks across Europe. These delays hinder the energy transition, slow down economic growth and create inefficiencies in grid utilisation. The “first come, first served” […]
The new industrial age: Tailored electrification pathways for Europe’s industrial competitiveness
A new ‘Industrial Age’ is emerging – powered by clean electricity. Developed in collaboration with Accenture, this report examines the cost implications of electrifying process heat across three scenarios, and unveils how electrification – with the right measures supporting its key manufacturing sectors – can enhance Europe’s industrial competitiveness. Electrifying industry is the solution to […]
Power2People: supporting residential customers in their energy transition
Europe’s journey towards a decarbonised and electric future will hinge upon the choices of millions of households. Through their daily consumption, European electricity customers fund the entire electricity value chain, from infrastructure and innovation to grid resilience and clean generation. Their needs, behaviours and expectations will shape the future of the energy transition. Europe’s power […]
EVision 2025: Plugging into potential: unleashing the untapped flexibility of EVs
An electric vehicle (EV) owner in Europe could save €450 to €2,900 every year by utilising both smart & bidirectional charging – shows Eurelectric-EY’s new study. Through smart charging, EV batteries can store excess electricity and with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies, they can sell it back to the grid at times of peak demand, helping balance the […]
Redefining Energy Security in the age of electricity
We live in a world where instantaneous access to energy is the norm and crucial to much of society. In recent years, though, achieving this has come up against many challenges. The early half of the 2020s proved a disruptive period for Europe, beginning with the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine […]

Power Barometer 2024: Zeroing in on industrial electrification, energy security and decarbonisation
The COVID-19 pandemic strained our supply chains and disrupted investment plans. The energy crisis unsettled our balance of power and compelled the EU to reconsider its energy security strategy. Meanwhile, increasing competition from China and the US in clean energy technologies has served as a stark reminder that a decarbonised economy depends on a competitive […]
