The study will be published today at 2pm CEST, make sure to download to see the detailed results. #InnovativeGridTechnologies #EnergyGrids #ProspectsforInnovativePowerGridTechnologies

🚨 New study released 🚨 Widespread deployment of Innovative grid technologies can accelerate the expansion of both distribution and transmission grids. That is one the key takeaways from our latest study with Compass Lexecon, ‘Prospects for Innovative Power Grid Technologies.’ As Europe becomes more electrified, bigger grids with increased capacity will be critical to support the integration of increased renewables.  🚀Even with a reasonably conservative deployment of innovative grid technologies, the needed transmission grids expansion can be accelerated by 5 to 8 years and distribution grids expansion can be accelerated by 4 to 7 years.  💡The study, supported by Breakthrough Energy , examines eight different innovative grid technologies, analyses the potential of innovative grid technologies through cases studies, and assesses the role they can play in helping Europe reach its decarbonistion goals. 📩You can download the full study here: https://lnkd.in/eWywpFYb    #ProspectsforInnovativePowerGridTechnologies #EnergyGrids #InnovativeGridTechnologies Brian Berry | Layla Sawyer | Alberto Méndez Rebollo | Christian Kjaer | Mark Norton | Marie Hayden | Grace McLoughlin | Stephan Heberer | Peter Hughes | Max Luke | Julia Selker | Manuel Trigueiros Rafael Ferreira de Lemos | Ewan Ramsay | Jack McCall | Edward Wylie | Martin Andrae | Hedd Roberts | Jørgen Festervoll | Frederic Vassort | Lars Stephan | Sankara Subramanian | Dominic Quennell | Isobel Arrowsmith | Baptiste Gary | Erich Kaltmann | Wolfgang Troppauer | Geoffrey Riggs | Georg Rute | John Fitzgerald

CETO’s objective is to provide an evidence-based analysis feeding the policy making process and hence increasing the effectiveness of R&I policies for clean energy technologies and solutions. ➡️It monitors EU research and innovation activities on clean energy technologies needed for the delivery of the European Green Deal; and assesses the competitiveness of the EU clean energy sector and its positioning in the global energy market. ➡️CETO is being implemented by the Joint Research Centre for DG Research and Innovation Energy, in coordination with DG Energy. ℹ️More details/download report ▶︎ https://lnkd.in/d6Rn4GvC

It's great to see Christian Pilgaard Zinglersen , Director of EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), including some of the results from our most recent study, 'Prospects for Innovative Power Grid Technologies', at the opening day of the Copenhagen Infrastructure Forum. Innovative grid technologies can greatly improve the network capacity of the grid, as well as bringing down costs compared to conventional expansion, and will need to play a big role in Europe's decarbonisation efforts. 💡The study carried out with Compass Lexeconand supported by Breakthrough Energy , examines eight different innovative grid technologies, analyses the potential of innovative grid technologies through cases studies, and assesses the role they can play in helping Europe reach its decarbonistion goals. 📩You can download the full study here: https://lnkd.in/eWywpFYb #CopenhagenInfrastructureForum #energyIF #ProspectsforInnovativePowerGridTechnologies

T&D Europe’s President, Jochen Kreusel, and Secretary General, Diederik Peereboom, are in Copenhagen for the European Energy Infrastructure Forum. Over two days, T&D Europe and other electricity stakeholders review progress in developing, reinforcing, digitalising, greening and upgrading Europe’s electricity networks and making them more flexible and resilient. T&D Europe will share its commitments and recommendations for policymakers, as outlined in our position paper here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e_6W3Drr More info about the Forum and livestream here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eipdXUSP #energyIF #grids #electricity

🚨 CurrENT's latest study with Compass Lexecon, 'Prospects for Innovative Power Grid Technologies', featured this week in Smart Energy International's Tech Talk. The article, written by Jonathan Spencer Jones, provides an overview of the study and the key takeaways. 💶 One of the takeaways from the study shows that regulatory barriers are delaying the wide scale deployment of innovative grid technologies. For example, there is a lack of incentives to opt for non-CAPEX intensive solutions and insufficient output incentives and incentives for innovation. The study highlights how an update of regulatory incentives can help fostering the rollout of innovative grid technologies and provide major benefits to the system. 💡The study, supported by Breakthrough Energy , examines eight different innovative grid technologies, analyses the potential of innovative grid technologies through cases studies, and assesses the role they can play in helping Europe reach its decarbonistion goals. 📩You can download the full study here: https://lnkd.in/eWywpFYb You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eJhXwfq6
