Eurelectric (full name: The Union of the Electricity Industry) is the sector association which represents the common interests of the electricity industry at a European level, plus its affiliates and associates on several other continents. Together these organisations employ 970,000 people in the European Union and have a turnover of €627 billion. Formally established in 1989, Eurelectric covers all major issues affecting the sector, from generation and markets to distribution networks and customer issues.
Eurelectric’s main objectives are the realisation of a carbon-neutral electricity mix in Europe well before mid-century and the development of energy efficiency and electrification to mitigate climate change.
Eurelectric hosts the Power Summit, an annual conference dedicated to European energy policy.
