Eurelectric

What Eurelectric does

Eurelectric (legal name: Eurelectric AISBL) is the federation of the European electricity industry, headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. Founded circa 1989/1997, it represents more than 3,500 European utilities active in power generation, distribution, and supply — collectively employing approximately 970,000 people, generating €627 billion in turnover, and managing 3,223 TWh of electricity. The organization operates as a non-profit international association under Belgian law (AISBL), with Kristian Ruby serving as Secretary General since January 2017 and Markus Rauramo (CEO of Fortum) as President since June 2025.

Its core deliverables are research initiatives, data platforms, business hubs, and flagship events rather than commercial software products. Flagship research programs include Power Couples (industrial electrification framework derived from 61 companies and 30 projects), the Electric Intelligence Catalogue (documenting AI applications in power-sector operations), Fleet Forward (joint EY study projecting up to €246 billion in cumulative fleet operating cost savings by 2030), Battle Tested (energy security assessment), and the annual Power Barometer market report. The organization operates four business hubs — EVision (e-mobility), Digitopia (AI in electricity), Grids for Speed (distribution grid modernization), and Next-Level CFE Hub (carbon-free energy) — and runs the Elda electricity data platform providing European production, demand, price, capacity, emissions, and cross-border flow data.

Eurelectric's business model is membership-driven: annual subscription dues from 3,500+ utility members and 60+ business associates (technology vendors and consultancies), supplemented by event registration fees (e.g., EVision 2026: €245-€395 per attendee), sponsorships, and co-developed research publications. The organization reaches its audience through LinkedIn (50,000 followers), YouTube, X, and email newsletters (2,500 power professionals, 43% open rate). Its distribution channels include direct enterprise sales for membership and sponsorships and self-service access to the Elda platform.
