Such a framework will confirm or deny whether Europe’s electrification will take off. While the supply side of the energy transition has advanced rapidly, with record growth in renewable electricity generation, the demand side has remained largely stagnant: electrification rates across the EU have barely progressed over the past two decades. In addition, aging, under-dimensioned grids and slow network modernisation and expansion threaten turning this supply-side progress into stranded potential, as power systems struggle to absorb rising volumes of variable and decentralised generation. The Grid Package therefore represents a critical opportunity to anchor EU energy policy around electrification to operationalise already existing renewable capacities, and prevent infrastructure from becoming the main brake on Europe’s decarbonisation.  \nThis policy paper proposes establishing EU-wide electrification targets for 2030, 2040 and 2050 :  \n• These targets are to be operationalised through six enabling pillars  \n-efficient planning, adequate financing, streamlined permitting, supply chain resilience, flexibility deployment, interconnection expansion and active energy community participation - each contributing to completing the internal energy market (IEM).  \n• Access to EU funding instruments -such as the Connecting Europe Facility, the Innovation Fund, or the Cohesion Fund would depend on demonstrated progress along these pillars, turning financial support into a performance-based incentive.  \n• An updated governance scheme would track interim targets, assessing each Member States’ starting point, and set differentiated but realistic national trajectories that account for domestic constraints and political contexts.  \nTo ground these proposals in operational reality, this paper builds on the results of the European Commission’s public consultation  \nAlice Moscovici, Research fellow, industrial and energy policy  \nPhuc-Vinh Nguyen, Head of the Jacques Delors Energy Centre, Research fellow, French and EU energy policy  \nAcknowledgments: The authors wish to thank Andreas Eisl (IJD), Sylvie Matelly (IJD) and Alice Félix da Silva for their valuable contributions.  \n1 • Jacques Delors Institute • Policy Brief  \non the Grids Package. Stakeholder input is used to identify primary bottlenecks and quantify how far current policies fall short of their respective objective, using shared EU metrics. For each enabling pillar, the paper links the identified gap to a targeted set of governance recommendations, clearly distinguishing between measures that require EU-level steering and those that depend primarily on Member States action. This structure ensures that ambition, accountability, and delivery are aligned across all levels of governance in a pragmatic and enforceable way.  \n Introduction  \nElectrification has emerged as a central pillar of global decarbonisation pathways, low-carbon electricity accounting for 40% of cumulative emissions reductions from end-use sectors by mid-century in the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Net Zero Emissions Scenario, with electricity’s share of final energy use projected to rise from 23% in 20231 to 40% by 2040 and 55% by 20502. Reflecting this global trajectory, the European Commission’s Clean Industrial Deal (CID) recently introduced the increase of economy-wide electrification rate to 32% in 20303 as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) with further guidance expected in the forthcoming Electrification Action Plan4. Although electrification was already highlighted in the 2020 Energy System Integration strategy5, it has now emerged as a central pillar of Europe’s decarbonisation strategy.  \nHistorically, the European Union’s (EU) electricity policy has focused primarily on the supply-side measures, using flagship instruments like the Emissions Trad","cbCaiqGU6DjmJB4S","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqGU6DjmJB4S","pdf",1224283,19,"English","# Introduction\n# Context and Rationale\n## Supply-side progress and demand-side stagnation\n## Risks to renewable integration from grid constraints\n# Proposed Policy Framework\n## Electrification targets for 2030, 2040 and 2050\n## Six enabling pillars\n## Funding tied to progress and governance updates","[{\"question\":\"Why does the EU need a Grid Package for electrification?\",\"answer\":\"The brief argues that electrification demand has stalled despite strong renewable supply growth, while aging and insufficient grid infrastructure threatens to block the integration of variable and decentralised generation.\"},{\"question\":\"What electrification targets does the policy brief propose?\",\"answer\":\"It proposes EU-wide electrification targets for 2030, 2040 and 2050 to guide long-term decarbonisation.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the proposals intended to be implemented and funded?\",\"answer\":\"Implementation would rely on six enabling pillars and an updated governance scheme tracking interim targets; access to EU funding instruments would depend on demonstrated progress, turning support into performance-based incentives.\"}]","Grids Package - Energy & Climat Policy Brief - December 2025 | PDF",1789214287,7]
