Power Plant 2.0 – A guidebook to electrify in harmony with nature
Climate change and biodiversity loss: a dual threat requiring immediate action Nature is deteriorating at an alarming rate. 80% of Europe’s natural habitats are in danger and climate change will be the main driver of biodiversity loss by 2050. But changing course is still possible. Clean electricity can become a key solution in the fight […]

Charge! – Deploying secure & flexible energy storage
Electricity storage is one of the crux to a reliable carbon-neutral power system, in which renewables will represent some 60% by 2030. To balance the system, no less than 500GW of flexible power, including storage solutions and demand-side management solutions will be needed. Eurelectric realised a 360° analysis of what it takes to ensure fast-tracked […]
Accelerating fleet electrification in Europe: When does reinventing the wheel make perfect sense?
We stand at the brink of an unprecedented evolution in the future of transport. In 2020, every 10th new passenger car sold in Europe was either a pure electric or a plug-in hybrid and landmark one million electric vehicles (EVs) were sold. This marked a decisive turning point in achieving 30%–40% EV sales volumes by […]
Power Barometer 2021 – Key power sector indicators and industry-wide figures
Manifesto ‘Ahead of the curve – Investments in distribution grids are needed,now’
Following up on our Connecting the Dots study, Eurelectric has published a short position paper on what it means to be ‘ahead of the curve’ and the need to ensure adequate investment in distribution grids to power the energy transition. The increased ambitions outlined in the Fit-for-55% package again demonstrate the urgent need for cost-efficient investment so that Europe’s distribution grids can […]
Power sector accelerating e-mobility: Can utilities turn EVs into a grid asset? EY-Eurelectric report – EVision 2022
Solutions are on hand to make sure the power system is ready to welcome more than one hundred millions of EVs. This is the conclusion of EY and Eurelectric’s collaborative report, ‘Power sector accelerating e-mobility’. Analysing the impact that millions of EVs will have on the electricity grid, the report reveals that the electricity grid will […]
Power industry’s recommendations for accelerating permitting as a prerequisite for Europe’s energy independence and decarbonization
As it was recognised recently by the President of the European Commission, renewable energy deployment is a strategic investment, not only for our decarbonisation targets, but increasingly so for our energy independence and security of supply. Every kilowatt hour of renewable energy secures our future and we need as much as 550 GW of new […]
Power Plant 1.0
Reconciling climate change mitigation and restoring natural habitats required developing an inspiring, innovative approach to renewables projects that put the regeneration of biodiversity at its core. Our exclusive report focuses on policy recommendations and visualisations, representing how the best integrated cases work in practice. The images serve as an inspiration for future projects – both […]
The coming storm: Building electricity resilience to extreme weather
Technical advisor Unrivalled challenges The European power system is facing unrivalled challenges. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has sparked an unprecedented energy crisis. The time is now for decisive action to transition away from imported fossil fuels to a clean, renewable electricity supply where electrification becomes key to regaining our energy independence. However, such progress […]
