Schneider Electric Commits to 100% E-Moblity by 2030

Industry News – Monday, February 24, 2020

Schneider Electric (SE) has announced its membership with The Climate Group’s EV100 initiative to launch a Green Fleet policy. By 2030, SE will convert 14,000 company cars in over 50 countries to electric vehicles (EV). The corporation will also install EV charging infrastructure in its major offices and factories, with flagship sites showcasing innovative EcoStruxure e-mobility architecture with microgrid technologies, asset management and new energy management systems.

The leading company in digital transformation of energy management and automation aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its own ecosystem by 2025 and net-zero emissions by 2030 as part of its validated 1.5°C SBT (science-based climate target). Besides joining EV100, SE already partnered with The Climate Group’s EP100 and RE100 initiatives. Alongside with its commitment to The Climate Group initiatives, SE is supporting several start-ups in the field of e-mobility.

EV100 is a global initiative bringing together companies committed to accelerating the transition to EVs and making electric transport the new normal by 2030. Several airports and large corporations like Deutsche Post DHL, Vattenfall, Metro and Unilever are members of EV100. RE100’s purpose is to accelerate change towards zero carbon grids, at global scale. The EP100 initiative aims to double energy productivity by 2030, against a 2005 baseline, setting an ambitious target to double the economic output from every unit of energy consumed. (SP)

Frauke Thies, Executive Director, smartEn (Smart Energy Europe)

"Prosumers are playing an increasingly important role in the energy transition. By generating, consuming or storing electricity in a self-distributed manner, they ensure a balance between the supply and demand of renewable energies in a smart grid. At EM-Power Europe, the topic will get the attention it deserves."

Industry Voices
Robert Busch, Managing Director Bundesverband Neue Energiewirtschaft

"To drive forward the energy transition, electricity, heat and transport sectors must be coupled. This is the only way to efficiently integrate renewables into the energy system via load shifting, storage and power-to-X technologies. EM-Power Europe will show how sector coupling can be implemented in neighborhoods."
