Energy Transitions podcast: Building a grid backbone for a net-zero Europe

Creating a modern grid backbone that accommodates renewables and supports electrification is critical, not only to boost decarbonisation, but also to ensure Europe's energy system remains competitive.

In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue sat down with Dr Frederik Doyé, Senior Vice President for Hub Europe at Siemens Energy, and Luca Marchisio, Head of System Strategy at Terna, to understand why and how Europe needs to urgently invest in grid development to achieve greater grid resilience and energy security.

In this episode you will learn more about:

• The critical role of the grid in Europe's energy transition;
• How Europe is tracking on expanding the grid and establishing the backbone needed for net zero;
• How modernising the grid can increase resilience;
• Why a more interconnected grid can help lower energy prices;
• The importance of investment security in ensuring investment;
• The most important and urgent actions needed to deliver net zero.

This episode is brought to you in partnership with Siemens Energy
