In the framework of Europe’s thrive for improving competitiveness and energy security, as well as reaching the EU’s climate objectives, this dinner-debate was an opportunity to better understand the potential and benefits of electrification.

Among the questions discussed that evening:

1. Will we be able to deploy sufficient renewables capacity to support this electrification revolution?
2. To what extent can electrification decarbonise the industry? Are there available technologies for industrial electrification?
3. How can we align the EU climate objectives with competitiveness?
4. How can the electricity grid become an enabler for electrification?
5. How do we ensure a just transition for both workers and consumers?

This debate provides an opportunity to gain insights, address the challenges and discuss the regulatory framework required to unleash the full potential of clean electricity sources.
