Centrality of the grid Whether it is the spiralling demand for more electricity or the universal initiative to shift to renewable energy, a crucial element in this complex matrix is the power grid. Myriad challenges facing the grid Expanding the grid, although essential, is just one part of the problem.

“The conclusion is very simple: without a power network fit for purpose, we will not achieve our REPowerEU goal to replace Russian fossil fuels, nor will we reach our net-zero targets,” stated the European Commissioner for Energy during the first High-Level Electricity Grid Forum hosted by ENTSO-E. This is huge. But we can get there.”
