Energy Resilience in Europe: How the Future Electrical Network Will Secure a Stable and Decarbonised Economy

Europe’s electrical system is being reshaped by electrified mobility, renewable generation and new industrial demand. This session examines how a smarter, more flexible and more distributed grid will support decarbonisation while protecting the economy from major disruptions. Speakers will address the evolution of transmission and distribution networks, the role of digitalisation and real-time data in anticipating stress events, and how storage, hydrogen, microgrids and demand response contribute to resilience. The discussion will also explore cross-border interconnections, regulatory frameworks and strategic investments needed to ensure a stable, affordable and low-carbon power supply for transport, industry and citizens across Europe today and in the decades to come.
