Joint Letters

Europe’s industries are seriously challenged by high energy prices, with industry in Europe paying electricity prices 2-3 times higher than that in the US and China. We call for policy measures to reduce the energy price burden on industrial energy consumers, including the reestablishment of a system price coupling in electricity between the EU and […]

EUTurbines has co-signed a cross-industry letter asking for the recognition of future-proof and renewable-based cogeneration technologies in the final draft of the European Commission’s Delegated Act on primarily used components under the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA DA).

The review of the Network Code on Requirements for Generators (NC RfG) aims to further harmonise grid connection requirements across the EU and make them future-proof, which is crucial for accelerating the energy transition and avoiding unnecessary costs. However, this joint industry declaration by technology manufacturers and certification bodies highlights a lack of clarity on […]

Joining other 109 European associations representing key RD&I stakeholders, we urge the EU Institutions to significantly increase the budget for the next European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10) and prioritise pan-European collaborative research to meet industrial needs through excellence.

EUTurbines calls on EU institutions to design the electricity market to enhance energy system integration, promoting flexibility, and accelerating decarbonisation, in a joint statemen with five other European organisations representing multiple energy carriers and integrated energy solutions. We advocate for an integrated energy system approach, equal support for all flexibility types, and coherent investment signals […]

In a joint effort to request the inclusion of a legally binding 2030 EU-level target for biomethane in the ongoing negotiations surrounding the Hydrogen & Gas Package, we join forces with 43 other organisations. The Hydrogen & Gas Package gives legal status to enshrine the REPowerEU plan for advancing renewable gases. The undersigned acknowledge the […]

Together with 14 other signatories, we urge legislators to reconsider the inclusion of fluoropolymers in PFAS restrictions in favour of a balanced, proportionate approach. Such an approach should not jeopardize the substantial investments, totalling hundreds of billions of euros, in European clean technology. These technologies are pivotal in our efforts to decarbonise Europe.

The Electricity Market Design reform is an opportunity to future-proof the regulatory framework to enable the decarbonisation of the European economy. Within this context, some of the major European energy trade associations are jointly urging the European Commission to consider multiple recommendations when elaborating its legislative proposal.

“Gas-based generation in the EU Taxonomy:  A step in the right direction, though adaptations are needed” The signatories welcome the inclusion of gas-based generation in the European Commission’s Taxonomy draft Complementary Delegated Act (DA). However, there are some aspects that should be amended in the final text in order to adequately recognise the role of […]

EUTurbines, together with 11 other sectorial associations, has co-signed a statement calling for a Taxonomy “Climate Delegated Act” that truly promotes necessary investments enabling a sustainable transition to climate neutrality. The joint statement lists highlights several key aspects from our perspective, including: The need for evidence-based and realistic technical screening criteria The need to duly […]

EUTurbines co-signed among 90 indsutry CEOs an open letter to the European Commission calling to consider hydrogen blending into natural gas for parts of Europe that cannot yet afford a dedicated hydrogen network.

EUTurbines co-signed a joint industry statement on the Taxonomy Delegated Regulation.

In a letter sent to the European Commission, the Council and the Parliament, EUTurbines, together with a wide industry alliance, calls for a Hydrogen Strategy that is inclusive of all clean hydrogen pathways. The letter states that a technology-neutral approach is needed for a cost-efficient and cost-effective decarbonisation of the European economy. Additionally, the importance […]

EUTurbines co-signed this Joint Letter in which the Gas industry welcomes EU efforts to support economic recovery after the COVI19 pandemic.

EUTurbines, in cooperation with Cogen Europe, EBA, ETE, ETN, EUGINE, SolarPower Europe and WindEurope, addressed the Commission to stress the importance of the energy sector during the coronavirus crisis and the need to allow the movement of staff to ensure the security of energy supply by reaching the plants whenever necessary.

EUTurbines has co-signed an industry statement on the Taxonomy Regulation.

EUTurbines together with other associations wrote to COREPER to express our support for the ongoing important work on the draft Council conclusions on the Future of Energy Systems in the Energy Union. Ahead of the COREPER debate on 12 June it seemed to be important to formulate our view on some of the key elements […]

In view of the upcoming trilogue on the Electricity Market Design, COGEN Europe, EUGINE and EUTurbines would like to strongly emphasise that the simple reference to a limit value like the 550g CO2/kWh – or its possible alternatives – is not sufficient: Without defining a harmonised calculation methodology, the new provision risks leading to a […]
