Pathway for 1.5C

The report asserts that Europe can transition to a clean electricity system by 2035 without additional costs beyond stated plans or compromising energy security. It highlights that wind and solar power are the primary technologies available to displace fossil fuels and reduce reliance on imported energy. While the UK, Germany, and the G7 have set targets for decarbonised power by 2035, the document notes a lack of a unified signal from the EU and Europe, calling for increased investment and the removal of infrastructure barriers.

• To keep the 1.5C target reachable, Europe needs a fully decarbonised power system by the mid-2030s, a conclusion supported by the IEA Net Zero roadmap and IPCC climate models.
• Ember's modelling indicates that a clean power system in Europe by 2035 is achievable without compromising security of supply or incurring costs beyond current stated plans.
• The UK, Germany, and the G7 have established targets for completely decarbonised power by 2035, but there is currently no unified signal from the EU and Europe.
