Climate and biodiversity, a joint response
At Day 2 of the Power Summit, Eurelectric released a landmark report, Power Plant, on the linked climate and biodiversity crises and the crucial role of our sector in responding to both.
Already 81% of EU habitats are severely deteriorated and by mid-century climate change will become the leading driver of ecological decay. Consulting with civil society and academia, Power Plant shows that another future is possible. Integrated renewable energy projects promise not only to reduce emissions but aso to restore their local ecosystems.

A new approach
Working with internationally acclaimed firm EFFEKT, Power Plant also sought to visualise what this new approach would mean for renewable projects.
Today's experts in their own words
"Europe's a pioneer in conservation policy. The world is looking to Europe & Europe is exporting its ideas to the world"
- Marianne Kleiberg, Regional Director, The Nature Conservancy
"We are tripling to quadrupling our installation rates ... So we can't have five year cycles for a new wind turbine"
- Patrick Graichen, State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate Action
"Most consumers want to commit to net-zero, flexibility markets are participative, they enable people to contribute to this process"
- Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO Grid Software, Siemens
"More and more the conversation is going from no impact to net-impact and companies are willing to invest in biodiversity"
- Miguel Stilwell de Andrade, CEO, EDP
"It is the end of European energy naivety, we can not talk about energy and politics as different things"

Electrification Alliance on its 5th anniversary
Today marked the 5th anniversary of the Electrification Alliance, an alliance of European associations that firmly believes electrification is the future of Europe's energy system. Since its inception the Alliance has pushed for a switch away from fossil fuels and towards clean electricity in transport, industry, buildings, and heating and cooling.
Association leaders came together on Day 2 of the Power Summit to congratulate the Alliance on the progress made so far but also on the importance of making sure electrification stays at the centre of the agenda in Brussels.
Session summaries
Sitting down with our sponsors
With the Power Summit ending on a high note, we spoke with Siemens Smart Infrastructure CEO for Grid Software, Sabine Erlinghagen, to ask her what message really hit home at this year’s conference.
How did it feel to take part in a physical Power Summit this year?
It was great to take part in the Power Summit and meet people in person again.
What was your favourite takeaway from your panel on the expanding role of DSOs?
We have to define the rules of the game now in order to set up proper legislation to enable flexibility market mechanisms, to increase the hosting capacity of DERs in the grids while keeping the networks stable, and to accelerate the path towards net zero.
With this year’s Power Summit coming to an end, is there one particular message that will stay with you?
We need to do everything we can in order to tackle the climate crisis. The power grid is at the heart of a sustainable energy system, and gatherings like this are extremely important for joining forces because nobody can do this alone.

2yYou're probably taking us all for idiots. Electricity + 225% Gas + 240%. Electricity cost very little before liberalization. The wind, photovoltaic and hydroelectric plants are all in personal ZERO remote control. With the green, you are removing citizens' protection on "Essential Goods" such as electricity, water, gas. I understand that by now they have made the embolism of business, of Green eco-sustainability, which we will certainly pollute more and nothing and no one will stop you €€€ - $$$. But today in Europe the "Business" Nature Industry is only being created. In a few years we will have a new Financial Bill, it will be the Financial Bill, of the Eco-Sustainability-Green. What a beautiful social operation Citizens are harassed with the excuse of Green sustainability in such a difficult moment, to raise cash for energy companies in the hands of foreign capital for hundreds of millions of €, with relative division of profits and dividends, leaving the debts to European countries. They were at least controlled by European capital, but they are all controlled by foreign capital, China in the first place, India, Russia, Australia, USA etc..etc .. Giuseppe Gattullo🌲🌲🌲🌲🖋

2yI wonder where Public Law has gone, millions of citizens without being consulted, one day they found themselves struggling with a process of liberalization, a pseudo-market in an oligopoly regime and companies authorized to manage and coordinate production activities , market and customers of Essential Goods. We are groping in the dark, without a concrete route, vision, trend and strategy. Europe is buying turnkey only, without creating any economy of scale, for economic and professional growth, it is necessary to impose on companies purchases in shopping around preparatory to economic growth and the professional training of new technicians, workers and managers, useful to Europe in order to relaunch the European economy. We have to be concrete, incisive, ask ourselves where are the new jobs? 1) How many and which companies have taken the money? 2) What is the number of new regular and permanent jobs they have created? 3) Where is the address?
