Building resilient grids for a renewable-powered future

As renewable capacity continues to expand rapidly around the world, the efficiency of electricity grids will play a central role in determining the pace toward a more sustainable global energy system. Countries including the Netherlands are already searching for solutions to minimise the effect of grid congestion on new connections, clean energy deployment, and industrial and societal electrification goals. AI-driven planning tools can help system operators optimise load forecasting and identify flexible capacity within the network. Meanwhile, behind-the-meter renewable installations are also gaining traction, reducing grid dependency by enabling end users to generate and consume their own power. Modernising infrastructure will require closing finance gaps, reducing regulatory lag, and adopting innovative solutions to integrate distributed energy resources. As electrification accelerates across industries, grid resilience holds the key to unlocking the power of renewables and decarbonising energy systems.
