They are hubs to renewable energy resources, strategic ports and offshore basins, key logistics hubs and industrial clusters that will shape Europe's clean energy future.   The CPMR welcomes the European Commission's growing ambition on #electrification, from the European Grids Package and the forthcoming Electrification Action Plan to initiatives on grid permitting, flexibility, digitalisation, investment and energy system resilience. But ambition alone is not enough.   ✅A successful electrification agenda must reflect territorial realities and empower regions to deliver.   Our new policy position sets out concrete recommendations to ensure that Europe's grids are fit for purpose and that all regions can fully contribute to a #secure, #competitive and #decarbonised #energy system. The policy position was presented by Artur Manuel Leal da Lima, CPMR Vice-President for Energy and Vice-President of the Regional Governo dos Açores (Portugal).   📄 Read our new policy position and discover the CPMR's recommendations: https://lnkd.in/eAdRWBnM
