As governments will negotiate the proposal within the Council of the European Union and work on implementing its measures, they need to answer two key questions:
1/ How can electrification be the most attractive choice and trigger investments? What do industrials need to see for this to be a no-regret investment (ETS, taxation, grid tariffs, competitive credits, funding)?
2/ How can the European Grids Package enable governments to plan for high electrification rates and accelerate grid connections?
After preliminary interventions, this online roundtable will gather policymakers, industry representatives and civil society to discuss these questions.
