🚨⚡ New business polling: results are out 🚨⚡ Businesses have done the math. Electrification is seen as a clear economic and strategic priority, linked to lower operating costs, greater resilience to external shocks, stronger competitiveness, and improved long-term energy security. Following the second major energy shock in four years, with geopolitical instability forcing business leaders to rethink their exposure to volatile fossil fuel supplies, we surveyed 1,994 business leaders across 18 markets and the numbers say it loud and clear. ⚡ 91% say electrification will improve their energy security ⚡ 88% say it will make their business more competitive ⚡ 90% expect to have largely electrified their operations by 2035, including 73% by 2030 This is no longer a question of whether to electrify transport, buildings and industry, it's a question of how fast: ⚠️ 72% of business leaders say government policy is moving too slowly on electrification ⚠️ 69% say they are electrifying their own operations faster than governments are preparing the systems for The direction is set. Now governments need to match the pace with grid expansion and modernisation, faster permitting, predictable long-term policy frameworks, and support on upfront costs. Proud to have been part of a project that brings the business voice to one of the most pivotal shifts of our time. Huge thanks to Pascale Palmer Molly Walton Gillian N.
