Electricity networks are the backbone of the power system and are a critical partner in delivering the energy transition.

9 technologies to lower grid investments – join Eurelectric at Grids for Speed

The electricity industry made it clear: “It’s €67 billion grid investments per year or lights off” to get Europe’s distribution power infrastructure up to speed with the energy transition. What we also said, however, is that there are ways to cut this investment need and lower the electricity bill for European consumers.

Eurelectric will launch a follow-up report on 9 grid technologies that can help optimise grid capacity, improve performance and lower the investment need. The report will feature several case studies from leading European system operators – including E.ON (DE), Enedis (FR), PPC/HEDNO (GR), AELEC (ES), ESB (IRL), E-REDES (PT) – on the challenges and solutions to keeping electricity flowing across Europe as we get closer to the net-zero age.

This report is part a much wider programme that will discuss:

How to ramp up innovation to optimise the power gridHow to ensure an affordable infrastructure for consumersHow can flexibility lower grid investments?Make sure to join the conversation on one of the main priorities for this new European Commission and Parliament.
