📢 ENTSO-E and EU DSO Entity are presenting the work plan for 𝐃𝐒𝐎/𝐓𝐒𝐎 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 in 2025. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭? 🤔 As reported in the #GridActionPlan, ENTSO-E and EU DSO Entity are requested to work together to promote uptake of smart grid, network efficiency and innovative technologies. 📖 We have agreed to develop a joint repository of the technologies available in this context with application examples and level of readiness ➡️ This will be the 𝐃𝐒𝐎/𝐓𝐒𝐎 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚. We view this as an important task which will increase the visibility of existing technologies to enhance deployment of #smartgrids, increase grid utilisation and ensure security of supply in Europe. 🔷 The 𝐃𝐒𝐎/𝐓𝐒𝐎 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 will describe known technologies the #systemoperators can apply. It will also describe different use cases and applications around Europe where it already exists, so that all system operators can see what others do, exchange #knowledge and eventually implement new technologies in their own grid. 🔷 The new platform will also be open for stakeholders’ support, where specific applications and use cases can be submitted. Submitted applications will be reviewed by the associations according to transparent guidelines. 🤝 We look forward to further work and cooperation to make the 𝐃𝐒𝐎/𝐓𝐒𝐎 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 the best version yet! Thanks to all engaged stakeholders in the planning stage in which we look forward to future collaboration. Thank you CurrENT Europe, E.DSO, Eurelectric, T&D Europe , & European Commission.

✨ ENTSO-E and EU DSO Entity entity are delighted to share the Provisional List of Union-Wide High-Impact and Critical-Impact Processes 📄, developed in line with Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/1366. 🔐 This list is an essential resource for organisations preparing their cybersecurity risk assessments, identifying processes crucial to the resilience of the EU electricity system ⚡. It includes key operational, planning, balancing, and emergency processes for both transmission and distribution systems. ⚠️ While not legally binding, the list reflects a proactive approach to addressing emerging risks and supports organisations in strengthening their cybersecurity measures 💪. 📑 Learn more and access the document: https://lnkd.in/eWB2VdXi #Cybersecurity #ElectricityGrid #Collaboration #ENTSOE #DSOEntity

📢 ENTSO-E’s Position on Anticipatory Investments Today, ENTSO-E participated in a Workshop organized by DG ENER on Anticipatory Investments, a key topic introduced by the Electricity Market Design Reform. This was a great opportunity for us to present our newly adopted position on the topic. While grid investments are typically covered by long-standing EU and national regulatory frameworks, anticipatory investments bring new opportunities and challenges for TSOs. In our position paper, we: ✔️ Define anticipatory investments ✔️ Discuss the opportunities and risks involved and propose potential mitigation measures ✔️ Identify key principles to help the development of the European Commission's upcoming guidelines We are excited about the European Commission’s forthcoming guidance following the Grid Action Plan and look forward to engaging with policymakers, regulators, and stakeholders to ensure a strong, resilient energy future. 📑 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eGYr5CZY #EnergyTransition #ElectricityGrid #AnticipatoryInvestments #ENTSOE #Collaboration

The energy transition will be supported also through careful assessment of system needs for flexibility. ENTSO-E publishes a study that looks at the evolution of system flexibility needs through 2030 and beyond. Flexibility plays a crucial role in integrating renewable energy sources in the power system by managing the variability of electricity production and demand. Through this report, ENTSO-E leverages its members' experience in operating the electricity system and their knowledge of adequacy and planning studies to provide a quantification of flexibility needs across the Member States 🇪🇺 to initiate discussion and build further expertise on the topic. The key insights from this study are outlined below: 🔢 Pan-European flexibility needs linked to generation and demand variability are projected to double between 2025 and 2033 across all examined timeframes. ⏱️ The need for short-duration flexibility and ramping capabilities is expected to roughly double by 2030. This need varies according to country size and generation mix. 🌧️ Prolonged shortages in variable renewables generation are expected to have regional impacts, affecting multiple neighbouring zones simultaneously, heightening the risk of system stress and reducing the mitigation effect of interconnections. 🌍 Interconnectors will play a crucial role in mitigating flexibility needs across various timeframes, except during prolonged shortages in variable renewables generation that affect multiple countries.

💡Wrapping up a day full of insightful talks, networking, and celebration at ENTSO-E’s 15 years anniversary conference!   🎤 Bringing the event to a close with inspiring words, ENTSO-E Vice-President Asta Sihvonen-Punkka emphasised the vital role of ENTSO-E and its TSO members: “Together, we are working toward a future where Europe’s electricity system is secure, efficient, and fully carbon-neutral – a system that is ready to meet the needs of tomorrow while delivering for today”.   A heartfelt thank you to all the speakers, panellists, attendees, partners, and stakeholders for making #ENTSO15 a truly memorable milestone.   Here’s to the the next 15 years of collaboration!

As the last session of the #ENTSOE15 Anniversary Conference comes to a close, we explored “The Role of Digital Technologies for the Future Energy System.”⚡   We delved into the transformative role of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.   The takeaway? These cutting-edge tools do not just optimise today’s grids, but shape a more innovative and resilient future.

The #ENTSOE15 Anniversary Conference is in full swing with lively discussions this afternoon!   We’ve just concluded an engaging session on what it takes to achieve real integration and create a true ‘System of Systems’. Highlights included insights from TYNDP 2024 and the pivotal role of offshore solutions, exploring the long-term deployment and planning of the system.   💡The key takeaway? Cooperation across sectors and borders is non-negotiable to achieve a sustainable energy future.

🌍 Powering Europe’s Energy Future Together At the Copenhagen Energy Infrastructure Forum, we joined forces with EU DSO Entity, T&D Europe , and Europacable to advance Action 13 of the European Commission's Grid Action Plan—and we're making great strides! Over the past months, our collaboration has tackled challenges in supply chains and procurement, setting priorities to accelerate the development and deployment of Europe's grid infrastructure. 💡 Key focus areas include: 🔹 Aligning technical approaches for HVDC and HVAC equipment. 🔹 Streamlining testing and qualification processes for critical components. 🔹 Supporting international standards and skilled workforce development. 🔹 Shaping EU procurement rules to foster flexibility and innovation. Together, we are committed to delivering clean, affordable, and sovereign energy for Europe’s citizens and businesses, driving innovation and efficiency across the value chain. The journey continues, and we’ll share further updates at the 2025 Energy Infrastructure Forum! https://lnkd.in/dEKz7MuA #EnergyTransition #GridActionPlan #Collaboration #Innovation #CleanEnergy #Teamwork

Next up at the #ENTSOE15 Conference: "The Role of Grids in the Energy Transition."⚡ The discussions focused on ENTSO-E’s policy priorities for the new European Commission and its strategic roadmap to shape the future of grids. It was emphasised that a supportive policy framework is essential to unlock the full potential of grids and drive Europe’s low-carbon future.   🗣️ Damian Cortinas, ENTSO-E Chair of the Board, concluded the panel discussion with a compelling call to action: “We need an energy transition that works for all. What this means is an energy transition that not only leads to carbon neutrality for our continent, but is also a factor for the competitiveness and security of the economy.”
