Dear European Commission, As representatives of the Dutch Sustainable Energy Association (Nederlandse Vereniging Duurzame Energie (NVDE)), we would like to provide our input on the consultation on the Electrification Action Plan.

The electrification of Europe is a critical pathway to achieving climate neutrality, enhancing strategic autonomy and improving competitiveness. However, without robust demand-side policies, the transition risks stagnation. The NVDE has some key recommendations to make the Electrification Action Plan an important stepping stone to a competitive, independent and climate-neutral Europe: for which we invite you to consult the attached document.

Response to European grid package

30 Jul 2025

Dear European Commission, As representatives of the Dutch Sustainable Energy Association (Nederlandse Vereniging Duurzame Energie (NVDE)), we would like to provide our input on the consultation for the Grid Package. The energy grid is a cornerstone of the clean energy transition, enabling the integration of renewable energy and supporting rapid electrification across Europe. A modernised, resilient, and interconnected grid is essential not only for decarbonisation goals but also for ensuring energy security, competitiveness, and affordability. To achieve this, Europe must accelerate grid expansion and upgrades, speed up permitting, strengthen long-term planning at the EU level, and rapidly deploy more flexibility and storage options. For a more comprehensive understanding of our recommendations, we invite you to consult the attached document.
