Eurelectric Secretary General Kristian Ruby shared a message at the Irish Presidency's meeting of Energy Directors-General discussing practical steps for Europe's electrification.

At Eurelectric, we fight for a fully decarbonised Europe where the power sector drives growth, resilience, and sustainability. We speak for no less than 3,500 companies across all of Europe - from multinational power generators to local (distribution) grid operators and suppliers - alongside 50+ business members and 2,200 utility experts. Together, our members employ nearly 1 million people and generate €627 billion in turnover. Through policy leadership, evidence-based advocacy, and consensus building, Eurelectric ensures the voice of Europe’s power sector shapes the EU agenda and sets the pace for tomorrow’s transformations. Our mission is clear: lead Europe’s energy transition with clean, secure, and competitive electricity. We deliver on this mission through three strategic priorities: – Clean electrification. Restoring Europe’s competitiveness, driving growth, and enabling climate neutrality by delivering affordable, reliable, and clean electricity to industries, transport, and buildings. – Energy security. Building resilience by safeguarding supply with robust infrastructure, diversified supply chains, and strong physical and cyber protection in a decentralised, weather-dependent system. – Intelligent power. Scaling digital and AI technologies to optimise performance, unlock flexibility, and future-proof Europe’s energy system at the heart of the digital revolution. ⚡ That’s Eurelectric: leading the energy transition through electrification.
