Countries like Brazil, Argentina & Chile have made remarkable progress toward universal access to electricity.

But momentum has slowed, especially in remote regions where grid expansion is costly and complex.

The future energy bill is an electricity bill.

This is why we must 'Make Electricity Cheaper' for households, businesses and industry.

Electricity grid upgrades are central to Europe's future energy security and competitiveness.
To achieve this, it needs to:
1️⃣ Give national regulators a statutory mandate for the energy transition.
2️⃣ Create independent system operators and planners (ISOPs) to oversee grid planning in the public

⚡ Europe’s clean energy transition can only move as fast as its electricity grids.

But outdated regulation and limited oversight are slowing things down. RAP and @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social propose two urgent reforms for national governments to make grids fit for the energy transition.👇

Affordability is the number one priority for consumers in the energy transition 💡

Heat pumps, for example, are cost-effective and shouldn't be hampered by high taxes and levies on electricity, as @regassistproj.bsky.social rightfully points out in its new reports 👇
