The Electrification Alliance sent yesterday a letter to EU Member States highlighting the risks that reopening agreed targets and objectives could pose to investment and regulatory certainty. The message is clear: the priority should be implementing the framework we have already agreed.

Simplification can play an important role in improving implementation and reducing administrative burden. However, it must be carefully balanced with the need for regulatory stability, clarity, and long-term predictability for investors and project developers.

Recent debates – including the Automotive Package and discussions on ETS and the electricity market design – risk sending uncertain signals to investors across the electrification value chain.

Clean, direct electrification remains the most cost-effective and resource-efficient pathway to decarbonisation. Maintaining regulatory certainty will be key to accelerating the transition, strengthening European competitiveness, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

The letter calls on EU Heads of State and Government to ensure that simplification efforts do not undermine the stability needed to unlock investment and deliver Europe’s energy and climate objectives.
