Survey reveals most European companies want to shift from fossil fuels, but many lack resources

The transition away from fossil fuels is a priority for European energy utilities and industries alike, but there is a reality gap—the need for more investment to meet clean energy goals, according to a new survey conducted by our Distribution Solutions Division.

European electrification purchase decision-makers in France, Germany, Italy, Norway, and the U.K. were surveyed, and more than half (51%) recognize that their organizations lack the resources to meet their commitments in the energy transition.

Learn how we are leading the way in enabling the energy transition through decarbonization and innovative technology, such as the SF6 free switchgear for an evolving grid. Explore our next generation of SF6-free switchgear solutions here - solutions.abb/sf6free
