How is the power grid
landscape changing?

Stay ahead in the energy landscape

To address instability before it happens, it's crucial to understand the challenges facing power grids today. Learn more with our expert.

Discover why we need to rethink our approach to power grids.

The energy grids are undergoing an unprecedented evolution, and these transformations will only accelerate in the future. Learn more about the key drivers of change.

Changes in generation mix

By 2050, renewables will account for 80% of energy generation. Their variability and unpredictability will significantly impact the stability of the power grid and the security of supply.

Change in demand

Market demand is rapidly rising due to global electrification, driven by industry decarbonization, increased transportation, and the growth of connected digital assets.

Aging grids and capacity constraints

The International Energy Agency estimates that by 2040, the demand for new grids will double the capacity of today’s existing grids. Additionally, significant investments will be required to upgrade the current infrastructure.

Policy and regulation changes

New grid code requirements will be more stringent for dynamic voltage control, harmonics and reactive power supply. They will also ensure fair market regulation cost sharing, while facilitating regional energy trading to lower consumer prices.

The new challenges for energy players

In light of these changes and transformations, grid operators and energy players are confronted 
with new challenges that necessitate innovative solutions.

Weakness of the grid

Decentralization of the grid

Lack of resilience and stability
