Our research identifies five regional profiles of investment realities.

We link specific barriers to policy tools.

With a systemic and evidence-based approach, the #ElectrificationActionPlan can channel private investment, unlock regional potential, and help achieve future-fit EU industries.

Our research found widespread divergence about how EU policymakers and -shapers define competitiveness.

Unsurprisingly, there’s little consensus how to measure it. 📏

Only with good understanding of the diverse barriers, and tailored support, can Europe accelerate industrial electrification across the continent and get on track for its #decarbonisation goals and competitive future-fit industries

📌 The conclusion? There is no one-size-fits-all solution to accelerating industrial electrification across Europe.

Policymakers need to take a regional and technology-specific approach to overcoming investment barriers.

Regions in #Estonia #Italy, #Greece #Hungary #Croatia #Slovenia #Bulgaria #Lithuania face the next highest barriers

Despite promising #renewables potential, electrification is hampered by high operational cost burden, weak financing conditions & low-decarbonised grids. Fiscal capacity is middling.

#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.
