The clean electrification of our EU energy system is slowly advancing and should accelerate if Europe wants to increase its energy security and efforts towards climate neutrality. Grids shall facilitate this transition by connecting and cooperating in a market-based way with all electrified end-users actively contributing to the stability of the European network. The digitally enabled flexibility offered by consumers and prosumers to both DSOs and TSOs represents a significant lever that must be grasped without further delays.
smartEn welcomes the launch of a strategic, inclusive reflection on European grids at the High-level Grid Forum on 7 September 2023. In light of the written conclusions of the Forum and in view of the definition of an EU Action Plan for the Future of our Grids, smartEn urges to take in due account 6 recommendations.
