About the Event


To reach climate neutrality, Europe is pushing for the rapid electrification of heating and transport, alongside a significant expansion of renewable power generation. Yet, grid constraints are increasingly becoming a bottleneck, slowing down progress on this agenda and undermining the EU's ability to achieve its energy and climate goals.

To overcome these challenges, the European Commission is preparing a European Grids Package, which will aim to remove barriers and accelerate the necessary investments. The debate will discuss policy options to ensure that Europe's grids are ready to deliver on its climate and energy ambitions.

Further Reading: MEP Sean Kelly published an opinion piece on this topic: "What happens when the power goes out in a modern economy?"
