Accelerated electrification of transport, heating and industry will be paramount to success for Europe's decarbonisation efforts. Eurelectric and its members will do our best to help deliver an ambitious, achievable Green Deal for Europe. I am keen to meet with you and share and discuss the priorities and recommendations of Eurelectric on how to ensure a timely, fair and cost-effective energy transition. The Eurelectric Secretariat will reach out to you with potential dates for a meeting. I look forward to a constructive cooperation. Yours sincerely, Magnus Hall Eurelectric President
