How Is Europe Solving Its Grid Capacity Constraints?

Synopsis

As Europe’s renewable energy transition accelerates, grid capacity constraints have emerged as a critical bottleneck. This session explores innovative technical, commercial, and regulatory approaches being deployed across European markets to maximize existing infrastructure, prioritize viable projects, and accelerate the connection of new renewable capacity.

• Connection queue management strategies across different European markets
• Innovative technical solutions enabling greater capacity utilization of existing grid infrastructure
• Structuring of shared connection models and private wire arrangements to overcome constraints
• Effective grid reinforcement cost sharing approaches accelerating new connections
• Developer adaptations in site selection and project design to accommodate grid limitations
