Europe is a pioneer in the energy transition, integrating renewables, smart grids, and interconnected energy markets. The region has shown that it is possible to combine security of supply, competitiveness, and accelerated decarbonization. From offshore wind in the North Sea to solar projects in the Mediterranean, Europe has developed regulatory frameworks, financing models, and technologies that are global benchmarks.
Its commitment to climate neutrality by 2050 drives massive investments in storage, green hydrogen, and digitalized grids. At the European Infrastructure Institute, we help adapt these solutions so other markets can accelerate their transition toward clean, resilient, and sustainable energy systems.
European benchmarks in inspiring numbers:
- 1,200 GW of installed renewable capacity.
- 80% of global offshore wind capacity.
- Over 400 energy storage projects in operation or development.
- 40 interconnected national electricity markets.
- 81% of the population with access to smart grids.
