Eurelectric: Accelerating electrification requires infrastructure
Homegrown clean and renewable electrification remains THE answer, but higher investments and upgraded infrastructure are urgently needed to enable a tripling in electrification rates by 2050.
- Homegrown clean and renewable electrification remains THE answer, but higher investments and upgraded infrastructure are urgently needed to enable a tripling in electrification rates by 2050.
- Rollout of charging infrastructure, however, is lagging behind and so are investments in electricity networks.
- Grid operators must be allowed to make anticipatory investments so we can start preparing for higher electrification."
- Growing variable wind and solar generation requires an increase in firm and flexible technologies to stabilise the system.
