The big reveal in #Brussels this week is the #EUBudget proposal. #MFF

#Czechia #Latvia #Poland #Romania and #Slovakia face the highest barriers.

These areas suffer from the worst financing conditions, the least decarbonised grids, the lowest industrial electrification rates. Fiscal conditions limit governments’ ability to support industry.

Our new research shows the barriers to unlocking financial flows are multi-level and vary vastly from one region to another.

Our method clusters EU regions on a spectrum of ‘electrification-readiness’. We identified 5 distinct regional profiles ranging from Very Low Barriers to Very High Barriers.

We identify five distinct profiles of EU region based on their ‘electrification-readiness’.

Whilst #Finland #Portugal #Sweden and parts of #Spain and #Ireland are fully charged and ready to go 🔋

Regions in #Czechia #Latvia #Poland #Romania and #Slovakia need to be powered up 🔌

⚡ #Electrification is essential for future-fit industries.

But as it stands, investments are not flowing fast enough.

Our new report looks at the barriers faced by EU regions as they try to finance industrial electrification.
