Session description

Wind energy has rapidly expanded over the past decades and now accounts for 19% of Europe's electricity supply. But the necessary upgrade and expansion of grid infrastructure has not followed the same pace, leading to congestion and curtailments. This session will explore how the planning of energy infrastructure - generation assets, gas and electricity grids - could be optimised to avoid future congestion and ensure that Europeans get the most out of their homegrown clean electricity.
