About us

Our statement

Founded in 2017, the Electrification Alliance brings together leading European associations with a shared mission: to accelerate Europe’s transition through electrification.

Our members span the full energy ecosystem, from renewable energy and transport to heating and cooling, grid infrastructure, electricity contractors, utilities,  and electrification technologies, combining deep sector expertise into one collective voice.

United by the belief that electricity is the key energy carrier for a clean, efficient, and cost-effective future, our work today focuses on three interconnected priorities:

 

  1. Strengthening Europe’s energy security,
  2. Enhancing its global competitiveness, and
  3. Delivering climate neutrality

 

Through smart and efficient electrification, we enable the use of homegrown renewable energy across the economy, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, and support innovation, jobs, and a more resilient energy system for all Europeans.
