The European Commission, which serves as the EU’s executive arm, has introduced an Electrification Action Plan for Europe. Its approach places increased electricity use alongside faster growth in renewable energy, including wind and solar. The document reports that 260 GW of additional solar and wind capacity installed after 2021 avoided 14 bcm of gas consumption in 2025. Member States are advised to lower VAT rates on solar modules, home battery systems and other electrification solutions. The Commission further plans to reinforce implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive to advance new renewable capacity. The roadmap sets a storage objective of 200 GW for 2030, compared with nearly 55 GW available in 2026. Expanded storage, network restructuring and greater flexibility are designed to improve renewable integration and contain electricity-system expenses.
