Electricity will be the fuel of the future.
[Music, Vibrant]
Europe is one of the largest energy markets in the world,
it is the largest consumer market today in the world,
it has today a leadership in the electrification and electricity business.
Unquestionably, the ingredients are all there.
Obviously, it can play – it must play –
a big role in the electrification of the world.
We have an excellent opportunity now to fight climate change
and we see that through three things:
drive electrification, because that’s a very good component
in fighting climate change and then, also,
to decarbonise electricity, because if you are going to use it
of course you also have to make sure to decarbonise that part,
you also have to look at the social aspects of this change.
We need to work with all those three things
to create a future for Europe,
but also where we participate as an industry, to a very high extent.
We already have a set
of ambitious targets for 2030,
which mean that in just 10 years we’re going to have
more than half of all electricity come from renewables,
we’re going to have 40 million electric cars on the roads
in 10 years from now and we’re going to also have
a much more digitised and much more complex electricity system.
This is an exciting new world
with a lot of opportunities for our sector,
but also for the other sectors that have been struggling
to see what is their future growth path.
It’s a big discovery trip into a very complex world,
full of interesting people with a lot of passion
and willingness to help and to contribute.
So, it’s been, first of all, a big discovery,
a big voyage and a big effort to try and unify,
on some basic principles, all these different ideas.
