How can Europe capitalise on the smart technology on the grid to guarantee decarbonisation?
Last month was European Sustainability Week, which focussed on the theme ‘Going Green and Digital for Europe’s Energy Transition’. With the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine threatening the continent’s energy supply, and a commitment to decarbonisation by 2050, Europe is devoting significant attention to ensuring energy security. Despite the immediate nature of this winter’s gas crisis, however, the theme of the week demonstrated that Europe sees an opportunity to accelerate the long-term transition to clean, reliable, affordable energy.

What happened to the UK’s electricity balancing markets during Covid restrictions?
A legacy grid design, to be simultaneously reliable, affordable, and sustainable, requires solutions from first principles innovation to be fit for purpose in a Net Zero future. The total value of the Balancing Markets more than doubled during the 2019-2021 period
