The scale of the problem facing Europe’s energy grids and Europe’s energy future is huge. Innovative grid technologies are already revolutionizing how electricity grids operate by unlocking significant increases in grid capacity, optimizing energy flow, and reducing network congestion. However, in order to meet Europe’s ambitious electrification and decarbonisation, the speed at which they are being deployed must be drastically increased.
