A major EC initiative is the Competitiveness Compass, announced to ‘frame the work for the rest of the term’. One of the three pillars is the joint plan for decarbonisation and competitiveness, including the proposed Electrification Action Plan. To accelerate electrification of industry – precondition for competitiveness – Europe needs both to increase the volumes and close the price gap vis-à-vis the US and China, respectively. This calls first and foremost for accelerating investment in the EU production. Somewhat less developed are strategies to boost affordable low-carbon electricity through imports. The session will explore the linkages between the domestic and external strategy, as for example being developed in the Clean Industrial Deal.Chair: Jan Cornillie, Research Associate, Florence School of Transnational Governance, EUIMore information and the full programme of the EUI Climate Week 2025 can be found here.
