Electricity has been decarbonising fast: 59% of the electricity mix was decarbonised in 2019, and this is expected to grow up to 81% in 2030. While further decarbonisation of the current power mix is expected in the coming years, deployment of direct electrification should be pursued faster, further and stronger.

In order to achieve the EU’s new climate change target of reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) to at least 55 % below 1990 levels by 2030, energy consumption must also be reduced through efficiency measures. We welcome the ‘energy efficiency first’ principle enshrined in the Directive, since a reduction in greenhouse gases cannot be achieved by switching to renewable energy sources alone, but only in combination with…

Eurelectric, the European electricity industry association, welcomes the chance of expressing its views on the Commission’s proposal for a more ambitious Energy Efficiency Directive. Our full feedback is attached.

To ensure a fit-for-purpose revision of the current rules, we urge for the following points to be taken into account: 1. Convergence of fiscal rules between Member States must be achieved in order to adequately contribute to the functioning of the Internal Energy Market : The 2019 ETD Evaluation demonstrated that the rates currently applied by MS differ significantly from each other and from the minimum rates…

Iwo Austria is an association that supports the use of liquid fuel heating systems, research and development of liquid fuels and co-design of the transition process from fossil fuels to renewable liquid fuels. The IWO represents the Austrian oil industry and acts as a voice for over 600.000 oil-heater households in Austria, representing around 1,2 million consumers.

Eurelectric fully supports the targets in the Green Deal and in this sense the anticipated amendment of the Regulation setting emission standards for cars and vans is very positive. During the last review of the Regulation, our industry was already calling for higher targets and more robust mechanisms to incentivise zero- and low-emission vehicles.

Iwo Austria is an association that supports the use of liquid fuel heating systems, research and development of liquid fuels and co-design of the transition process from fossil fuels to renewable liquid fuels. The oil industry has therefore, from the outset, become aware of the Paris climate objectives, both in Austria and across the EU, and has begun to develop and produce liquid fuels from alternative raw…

The European electricity industry, represented by Eurelectric, welcomes the publication of this Commission's initiative to tackle the emissions from road transport. With the proposed CO2 emission performance standards for cars and vans, the European Commission has shown a real commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.
