T&D Europe ’s Post

This week, on the margins of the 10th Energy Infrastructure Forum taking place in #Copenhagen, ENTSO-E participated to the roundtable meeting organised by the European Commission focusing on the aspects of supply chains to overcome in order to deliver the EU Grid Action Plan.   Our key messages 👇    🔗Facilitate investments in manufacturing capacity and support strong and sustainable supply chains  ⚡ Speed up grid development and reduce redundancies in planning and execution of projects   💶Keep the added value within the European economy, maintained in the new EU legislative mandates  ♻ Empower Europe’s energy transition and accelerate the path to carbon neutrality    These messages were also reiterated in a joint statement with Europacable and T&D Europe . Together, we are working to ensure the timely roll-out of Europe’s transmission grid infrastructure as a part of the #energytransition.    Thank you to Commissioner Simson for organising this collaborative exchange.   Read more about our statement with Eurocapable and T&D Europe to develop and operate the grid needed to meet the European #decarbonisation targets 👇 https://lnkd.in/e6S25CWM

This week I attended Enlit Europe, a forum that involves stakeholders from the electricity industry to address important themes for the energy transition. We had the chance to discuss the role of the electricity vector and the pivotal importance of anticipatory investments for #resiliency and #digitalization, to upgrade infrastructures for a new era of distributed renewable generation as well as to meet the challenges posed by severe climate events. Considering the ever-increasing importance of distribution in the EU’s agenda, outlined by the recent publication of a dedicated Action Plan on Grids by the European Commission, we need to focus on power infrastructure #investments, securing the collaboration of regulators, to jointly address the barriers that DSOs are facing and ensure our grids are set for this purpose. As demonstrated by our new strategic plan, #EnelGrids is ready to do its part in this endeavour. #EnlitEurope https://lnkd.in/g7wEYAFm

The political goal is set: 🎯 a total of 80% of the electricity produced in Germany should come from renewable energies by 2030. 🌿Last year was a record year for Germany with almost 60% of electricity produced sustainably. An important step in the right direction and no longer a vision of the future for us since our official certification as a member of the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact: Since 2021, we have been sourcing 100% of our electricity from renewable energies across the group* 🌱 Of course, this also applies to everyone T-Systems data centers. #rethinkthesystem #renewableenergy #CNDCP #earthday Source (german): https://lnkd.in/e3Gd_Hfc, *Scope 2, market-based method

⚡🗼Alina Arsani, EPG Head of Energy Systems, and Andrei Covatariu, EPG Senior Associate, contributed to Romania's section of the newly realeased Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe report on future proofing CEE’s grids, a topic that is of high interest for EPG. The energy system's decarbonisation is impossible to achieve without grid investments. 🗨️Alina Arsani: Grids play a key role in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries' pathways to decarbonisation. Reaching national climate goals also means expanding and modernising the power grids - a prerequisite for integrating renewable sources. The CEE countries need, therefore, to review and adjust their regulatory frameworks to properly incentivise smart investments towards power grids, which will have a widespread effect on the economy at large." 📜Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/eUNuGweh

Today 🗓️ top EU energy officials convened in Brussels to address emerging threats to energy infrastructure. Will #vehicletogrid be considered as a key asset to protect these infrastructure? 🚘⚡ Resilient, affordable renewable energy will be key to a successful industrial policy; however, this demands that the correct grid assets are in place. With the EU's energy landscape transitioning from fossil fuels to renewables, traditional vulnerabilities like pipelines and oil tanker routes are being supplanted by new risks, notably submarine electricity cables. We take this opportunity to remind officials of the need for a #EuropeanGridPackage. With a European Grids Package, Europe can refresh and upgrade its infrastructure to meet the demand to accommodate higher levels of renewable energy. Although this will require investment, doing so will allow Europe to tap into its future grid asset - electric vehicles. It will accelerate the connection of chargers and other Green Deal enabling technologies and allow Europe to tap into the huge energy storage potential offered by electric vehicles.

Today T&D Europe was delighted to attend the ‘Clean Transition Dialogue on European Green Deal Infrastructure’, hosted by the Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal, Maroš Šefčovič, of the European Commission. Represented by T&D Europe President, Jochen Kreusel, the dialogue brought together experts in the grid technology industry to discuss the crucial role the sector is playing in enabling the energy transition. ⚡ Energy grids will play a major role in achieving the decarbonisation goals set out in the European Green Deal.
