💡Our new Task Force 7 on Smart Metering met for a successful kick-off at Enlit Europe in Milan, hosted by Iberdrola. The expert group will cooperate to support E.DSO members' approach to the evolution of #SmartMetering and management of LV grids. ⏭️ The first goal of the task force will be to obtain an overview of the status of smart metering in each EU country in relation to roll-out, communication technology, security, data supply and use cases for metering data. #DSOs #Enlit2024 #EnerdyTransition #DistributionGrids

Today, E.DSO Secretary General Charles Esser and several E.DSO members attended the Hungarian Presidency’s Electricity Grid Development Conference in Budapest. The focus was on: ✅ Challenges of electricity grids, the role of regulation and market design and ✅ Success factors for the implementation of network developments. One of the most important conclusions of the day was to focus on implementing tangible solutions that all actors can agree on, in a spirit of trust, rather than siloed pushes from many actors. And likewise, we can agree that some risk needs to be accepted in making needed investments, while costs, of course, remain relevant.   Luis Vale Cunha of E.DSO member E-REDES Portugal and Remy Garaude Verdier of E.DSO member Enedis participated in the panel on “Technical Challenges”: ✨ Luis Vale Cunha noted the increasing amount of solar PV on the distribution grid in Portugal, in the context of Wind and Hydro power and backup other fuel sources. There is a need for a clear framework to mix generation elements for the optimal solution each time. ✨ Remy Garaude Verdier mentioned the 600 collective self-consumption schemes, set up by Enedis in France. This is a very efficient way to balance local generation and consumption. Primary substations are being built that are dedicated to renewables.   The conference ended with an important focus on financing challenges. 💰   #EDSO #DSOs #HU24EU #Grids
