Let’s flex our grids to boost solar deployment
Information
A live recording of the Watt Matters podcast by FORESIGHT Climate & Energy: As the energy landscape evolves, power grids must adapt to accommodate an increasing share of renewable energy sources. Achieving the EU’s renewable energy goals entails eight years and €584 billion in investments for grid expansion, underscoring the need to optimise existing infrastructure. Hybrid systems, such as solar with storage, offer promising solutions to enhance grid reliability and flexibility, though regulatory barriers persist due to grid requirements tailored to individual technologies.
This session will explore how innovative solutions can address grid connection challenges and highlight regulatory reforms necessary to accelerate renewable energy integration. Participants will engage in discussions on strategies for a more resilient and future-ready electricity system.
