#AccelerateEU
Wir begrüßen das heute von der EU-Kommission veröffentlichte Programm „AccelerateEU“, mit dem die EU auf die erneute fossile #Energiekrise reagiert. Energieministerin Reiche muss sich jetzt von ihrer rückwärtsgewandten fossilen Energiepolitik verabschieden.

Konkret sieht das AccelerateEU-Paket einen Elektrifizierungsaktionsplan bis Sommer, schnelleren Ausbau von Wind, Solar und Offshore sowie Beschleunigung des EU-Netzpakets vor.

Anders als Merz und Reiche lässt Ursula von der Leyen keinen Zweifel: Ohne Erneuerbare gibt es keine Energiesicherheit.

Trump’s war in #Iran has shown how dependent we are on this unstable fossil system.

The EU Commission’s #AccelerateEU plan must go further & include:

- Windfall tax on fossil profits
- Binding phase-out of oil, gas & coal
- Massive investment in solar, wind & hydro

Europe was already there. Now with Orban out of the way they have more consensus on the AccelerateEU agenda. Electrification = energy security:
⚡ EVs
⚡ Heat pumps
⚡ Grid upgrades
⚡ Industrial electrification
⚡ Domestic power generation

"lower emissions" changed to "lower geopolitical risk."

De EU importeert voor €340 miljard aan fossiele energie per jaar. ~€760,- per persoon.

57% van EU-energieverbruik is fossiele import.

Extra kosten sinds sluiting Hormuz: €24 miljard. ~€54,- per persoon.

AccelerateEU to strengthen EU energy resilience
AccelerateEU proposes actions to address rising energy costs on volatile markets, while speeding up the EU’s shift to homegrown, clean energy.

Great opportunity to comment our #AccelerateEU proposal during the discussions in 2026 Wind Europe Conference.
Building a resilient, clean, efficient electrified energy system in Europe is key for our competitiveness and security.
And wind is a very crucial piece in our response!

Today we adopted #AccelerateEU to speed up our energy resilience.
It sets out the framework to ensure a fair transition towards a clean, homegrown and efficient energy system.
We want to protect those who need it most and ensure lasting prosperity, the foundation of our freedoms and our democracy

"The European Commission will put forward an “AccelerateEU” plan on April 22, including a renewed effort to cut electricity taxes to incentivize a shift away from oil and gas, according to a draft document seen by Bloomberg News."

A shift away from oil and gas.
EU to Bet on Electricification to Avert Recurring Energy Crises
The European Union will float a series of measures next week to help the continent deal with the Iran war’s energy price fallout, as well as electrify the economy to avert future fossil fuel shocks.

I don't think he mentioned AccelerateEU, but I will ask if I get a chance
April 29, 2026 at 11:09 AM
Interesting. The European Commission called for 200GW by 2030 in their AccelerateEU communication last week. Did he by any chance say if he thinks that is possible?

Today's AccelerateEU communication from the European Commission explains how the existing EU energy policy mix will be further bolstered to drive electrification in order to reduce fossil fuel exposure. (1/3)

The European Commission will coordinate with member countries on jet fuel and diesel supplies to fend off a looming shortage, as part of a major package to address the energy crisis caused by the Iran war.

🚨 EU energy crisis plan: right diagnosis, incomplete response

The AccelerateEU plan rightly targets fossil fuel dependence and boosts electrification, energy savings & support for vulnerable households

But key gap: windfall profit taxes are left up to national governments. 🧵👇

🎉 What a timing!

Right before the #AccelerateEU comm proposing an electrification target came out, our new study was published in Nature Communications, showing that electrification is not just an option—it’s at the core for the EU to meet its 2040 climate targets!
