WEBINAR

Transforming the grid to meet Europe's energy transition demands

Now available on-demand

The shift to distributed generation, the electrification of heat and transport, and growing geopolitical instability are together demanding a fundamental transformation of grid infrastructure - at speed, at scale, and at enormous cost. Regulatory frameworks are constantly shifting, affordability pressures are intensifying, and the pace of change is challenging the planning and decision-making processes operators have traditionally relied on.

This webinar brings together leaders from Europe's transmission and distribution networks to examine how grid operators are adapting their strategies, navigating uncertainty, and making the complex trade-offs that will define Europe's energy future.

  • What does Europe’s grid need to look like by 2030, and where does progress need to be accelerated most urgently?
  • How can operators balance the scale of transformation needed against what consumers, governments and regulators are prepared to support?
  • What impact is geopolitical instability having on grid priorities? How can threats that are difficult to quantify be planned for?
  • Are planning and permitting systems fit for the pace of change required?
  • How is system flexibility changing long-term infrastructure planning?
  • How should resilience and security strategies evolve as cyber and physical threats continue to grow?
  • What does a resilient, future-proof strategy look like in practice?
