Session description
Grid optimization and development are essential to the success of the energy transition, as the grid will remain the backbone of a decarbonized energy system.
We need to expand the grid to accommodate more renewables, but new grid developments have been lagging behind renewables deployment. One in every 3 grid investments have been delayed, and such developments have a very long timeline (10+ years). How can we accelerate?
And in the meantime, a lot can be done to improve existing infrastructure by deploying technologies that will optimize grid operation while increasing resilience. What should we prioritise today?
