WindEurope recommendations for the ETS Investment Booster

Published on 02 October 2026

Overview

WindEurope sets out five recommendations for the design of the EU Emissions Trading System Investment Booster, the first phase of the Industrial Decarbonisation Bank. The paper calls for the Booster to:


  • prioritise mature direct electrification solutions,

  • support the full cost of switching from fossil fuels to electricity,

  • recognise renewable PPAs in emissions accounting,

  • ensure a fast and fair allocation process, and

  • provide continuity with the future Industrial Decarbonisation Bank.



The objective is to turn proven electrification technologies into investable industrial decarbonisation projects before 2030.
