@solarpowereu.bsky.social had me on their podcast to talk about the EUs upcoming Electrification Action Plan.

I mostly talked about implementing existing legislation, maintaining the 2035 car standards. Plus my favourite idea: a Rural Homes Electrification Mission.

🔋 Battery storage is booming but 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇬🇧 🇦🇹 🇸🇪 made up 78% of EU installs in 2024

5 countries can’t power Europe’s clean future alone, let’s make sure the whole 🇪🇺 can power the transition

👉 This is why we need an EU Energy Storage Action Plan now
