EU weighs 46% electrification target for 2040 Energy Union package

Renewables Now reports that the European Commission presented the Electrification Action Plan and will evaluate a 46% indicative electrification target for 2040. For the solar sector, the policy direction matters because deeper electrification increases demand for clean power, flexible storage and grid upgrades across transport, buildings and industry. The signal is that Europe’s post-2030 framework is likely to link decarbonisation targets more tightly with power-system expansion.
