Electrification Action Plan: Key points

For too long, consumers have been locked into an energy and transport system fundamentally based on (imported) fossil fuels.

This exposes consumers to volatile fossil fuel prices, negatively impacting household budgets, as well the planet, our health, and geopolitical security.

BEUC research has consistently shown that electrification in many consumer areas – cars, cooling, heating – is the most affordable option.

This paper summarises BEUC’s position on the Electrification Action Plan.
