Extreme weather harms human health, nature and the economy. Over the last few decades, Europe has witnessed more extreme weather events; from droughts, heatwaves and forest fires to violent storms and flash flooding. While no single extreme weather event can be blamed solely on climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) makes …
Amidst increasingly common climate-change induced extreme weather events, the European power sector is at a crossroads. Eurelectric’s latest paper dives into how Distribution System Operators can boost climate resilience, presenting six case studies and five policy recommendations to prepare Europe’s grids for what lies ahead. Extreme weather is stress-testing Europe’s grid June’s heatwaves across Europe …

EU gas and electricity markets from January to March 2025 proved their continued resilience as they ensured stable and secure energy supplies with important milestones on both markets. For electricity, while the wind sector and hydropower faced unfavourable conditions, solar power generation reached 45 TWh, a record level for the first quarter – some 30% higher …
The European Commission and the European Investment Bank announced that €3.66 billion have been disbursed from the Modernisation Fund to support 34 energy related projects in nine EU Member States. These investments will support the modernisation of energy systems in the EU. They will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the energy, industry and transport sectors, and improve …

START, the technical assistance facility of the European Commission’s Initiative for coal regions in transition has come to an end after 6 years, leaving tangible results for many regions transitioning to clean energy. Since its inception in 2019, START has successfully undertaken 18 assignments covering 14 coal, lignite, peat and oil shale regions (so-called ‘coal+’ regions) in …
The Commission has published a call for evidence on a new energy label for low temperature emitting radiators. Such radiators are designed to minimise energy consumption while ensuring optimal heating. This 4-week call is part of the preparation for a possible delegated regulation to develop such an energy label, with the intention of finalising these rules by the …
