The Alliance of Energy Intensive Industries (AEIIs) represents more than 30,000 European companies. Together, these are amongst Europe's largest energy consumers and directly employ more than 2.8 million people. The AEII wants to make a success of the Energy Union. We see it as a potential enabler for European industrial competitiveness and as a unique opportunity to deliver on Europe’s ambitious transition to a low-carbon energy system.
