EuropeON − Electrical Contractors Association

EuropeOn is the European voice of the electrical contracting industry. Since 1954, our association has been the only forum for electrical contractors and their representatives across Europe to come together, exchange and form common positions on the issues that are important to them. Today, Europe is home to about 2.7 million electrical professionals, employed by 420.000 businesses and generating over €300 billions of annual turnover. Together, they are making the green and digital transitions concretely happen in every parts of Europe.

The energy transition and urgency of climate action have pushed electrical contractors to the fore as electrification has been increasingly recognized as the primal and most efficient pathway to decarbonize our energy uses. Electrical contractors provide the electrical installations needed for buildings and infrastructure to decarbonize, enabling regions and citizens to take part in the energy transition.

Alongside the energy transition, electrical contractors are making the digital transition happen on the ground. They are responsible for the installation of digital infrastructure and enable the digitalisation of the energy sector, especially at end-user level.

Against this backdrop, EuropeOn has been endowed with a new responsibility to convey the feedback electrical contractors can provide from the ground to the EU institutions in order to best inform policymakers about the most suitable regulatory approach to implementing the energy and digital transitions.
