Reaching climate-neutrality will require the addition of larger amounts of variable and decentralised renewable energy capacities: already by 2030, solar will represent 50 to 54% of the total power generation according to SolarPower Europe’s 100% Renewable Energy study.
What does it mean for the grids? How can Europe deploy the necessary smart grid technologies? How can the grid evolve to a more decentralised energy system? This webinar will discuss the pathway to a smarter, decentralised and more flexible grid and will launch the SolarPower Europe’s new Grids Working Group.
