Renewables, electrification and flexibility. For a competitive EU energy system transformation by 2030

Together with its partners Ramboll Management Consulting, Ecologic Institute and Fraunhofer ISI, CE Delft contributed to a report of the European Environmental Agency (EEA) on renewable electricity sources. The report ‘Renewables, electrification and flexibility — for a competitive EU energy system transformation by 2030’ finds that the European Union has already demonstrated its ability to shift away from fossil fuels, with electricity-sector CO2 emissions dropping significantly over recent decades. Scaling up renewable electricity sources even further across the EU could reduce electricity generation costs, improve energy independence, and support the transition towards clean industry. At the same time, accelerating the electrification of heating, transport and industry is needed to support Europe’s clean and competitive future.
