European electricity companies have committed to achieve a carbon-neutral power supply by 2050. The commitment was part of a Declaration delivered to Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs by 61 chief executives of European electricity companies in a Eurelectric meeting on Wednesday. “If we want to win the battle against climate change we need to change completely the way we think energy production, consumption and development,” said Piebalgs when welcoming the commitment. “In our Strategic Energy Review we presented our vision on how energy has to be by 2050, which includes fundamental technological shifts, including de-carbonizing the EU electricity supply. Today’s commitment gets the European electricity industry on board this ambitious programme.”
