REVOLUTION E19 June 2026

91% of Decision-Makers Say: Electrification Is a C-Suite Priority.

91% of Decision-Makers Say: Electrification Is a C-Suite Priority.

The Financial Times reports this week on a study that demands attention: Nearly 2,000 CEOs, board members, and managing directors from 18 countries were surveyed. The result is unambiguous — and it affects every company still running on fossil fuels.

91% say: Electrification improves energy security.

90% expect to be largely electrified by 2035.

88% say: Electrification makes their company more competitive.

These are not wishful thinking from climate activists. These are decision-makers who are responsible for balance sheets.

What the Study Also Shows

79% of surveyed executives say that geopolitical instability — the Hormuz crisis, energy price shocks, supply chain disruptions — has made their own electrification more urgent. Not someday. Now.

84% expect electrification to reduce their long-term operating costs. 62% would relocate their operations if conditions don't improve.

And 72% say: Politics is too slow.

What This Means for German Mid-Market Companies

Germany stands at 81% electrification expectation by 2035. That sounds ambitious — but the reality in many companies looks different:

  • Grid connections are insufficient
  • PV potential lies dormant
  • Storage is not being considered
  • Charging infrastructure is planned in isolation
  • Heating remains fossil

The problem is not the will. The problem is implementation. And this is exactly where REVOLUTION E comes in.

Four Sectors. One System.

Electrification is not a standalone project. It is sector coupling:

Electricity — Self-generation, storage, grid optimization

Heat — Heat pumps, infrared, waste heat recovery

Mobility — Charging infrastructure, load management, home charging

Process Heat — Industrial electrification, power-to-heat

Those who only look at one sector miss synergies. Those who think of all four as a system reduce costs and increase resilience.

Our Approach: Orchestrate, Don't Install.

We don't build charging stations. We don't install PV systems. We orchestrate the transformation — with reliable numbers, TCO analyses, and a partner network that delivers.

The QuickCheck is the starting point: Data-driven, economically sound, on the management's desk within weeks.
