The Grid Bottleneck: Unlocking Capacity for Europe’s Energy Transition

Europe’s energy transition is now inseparable from energy security. Still recovering from the supply shock triggered by the crisis in Ukraine, the region faces renewed pressure from instability in the Middle East, reinforcing the strategic imperative to reduce exposure to volatile fossil resource markets. Accelerating electrification across industry, transport, heating, and buildings will be central to Europe’s decarbonization and resilience goals, but it will also place unprecedented demand on a grid that is not yet ready for the scale, speed, or variability of the transition.

In this webinar, we examine grid flexibility as a critical lever for maximizing existing electricity infrastructure and enabling faster, more resilient electrification. We explore how hardware and software solutions can work together to unlock flexibility, highlight real-world deployments already creating value, and identify the key bottlenecks that must be addressed. Attendees will leave with a clear view of the actions energy companies, industrials, technology providers, and policymakers can take to better utilize existing grid capacity and turn flexibility into a strategic advantage.
