About us

CurrENT represents the leading voices of innovative grid technology providers in Europe. Our mission is to unite technology providers dedicated to enhancing electricity grids, facilitate the mass uptake of renewables, and help accelerate the energy transition to achieve Europe’s sustainability and net-zero goals.

Why does CurrENT exist?

Addressing the challenges in Europe’s electricity grids

CurrENT was founded in 2020 to speed up the deployment of innovative grid technologies and solutions within Europe’s electricity networks. To meet the ambitious decarbonization and electrification targets for 2050, Europe must urgently improve how it generates, stores, and transports electricity. Innovative grid technologies can be pivotal in addressing these issues.

Bridging the gap between innovation and deployment

While a range of commercially mature innovative grid technologies already exist, the speed of their deployment needs to be increased to fully realise their transformative benefits for the grid. CurrENT raises awareness of the challenges facing these technologies and showcases the benefits of innovative grid technologies that contribute towards cleaner, resilient, and more sustainable energy systems.

How CurrENT drives change

CurrENT achieves its mission by:

  • Publishing expert studies and in-depth policy papers.
  • Setting the agenda at key energy events.
  • Engaging with European energy stakeholders.
  • Responding to consultations and promoting best practices.
  • Sharing intelligence within a dynamic network of companies.

What is CurrENT’s mission?

Optimizing Europe’s grids

CurrENT is committed to optimizing Europe’s electricity grids to support the transition to net-zero. By fostering collaboration between grid operators and technology providers, and promoting forward-thinking policies and targets, we aim to unleash the full potential of Europe’s energy infrastructure.

  • Deploying proven technologies to boost the existing grid’s capacity quickly
  • Accelerating the energy transition by deploying grid technologies that support the mass uptake of renewables
  • Supporting the deployment of new transmission and distribution technologies with ten times the transfer capacity of the currently best-in-class technologies

Innovative grid technologies are essential for creating the grids required for Europe’s net-zero future.

What is CurrENT’s vision?

A future powered by innovation

CurrENT envisions a future where Europe’s electricity grids are global leaders in efficiency, resiliency, and innovation.

Shaping the path to net-zero

By addressing bottlenecks relating to increasing grid capacity, maximizing renewable energy integration, and enhancing grid reliability, we aim to accelerate the energy transition. As a key link between technology providers, grid operators, and decision-makers, CurrENT plays a vital role in ensuring Europe’s energy networks are equipped for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
