⚡ Lessons Learned from Ukraine’s Synchronisation with the Continental Electricity System 🇺🇦🇪🇺 Today, 19 May, ENTSO-E participated in the Conference on Energy Security: Lessons from Ukraine, hosted at the German Federal Foreign Office in Berlin. Represented by Board Member Kristin Munthe, ENTSO-E joined fellow speakers from NPC UKRENERGO, the German Government and Stromnetz Berlin GmbH to reflect on the lessons learned from Ukraine’s synchronisation with the Continental European electricity system. 🔎 Three key takeaways from today’s exchange: 🔹 Ukraine’s synchronisation proved decisive in stabilising the system under wartime conditions, demonstrating how cross-border integration enables emergency support, flexibility, and system resilience ⚡🛡️ 🔹 The rapid, collective action of European TSOs showed the power of strong operational coordination, robust emergency protocols, and shared commitment in times of crisis 🤝🌍 🔹 Progress toward full electricity market integration and market coupling is enabling Ukraine to better balance its system 🔌📈 🙏 We would like to warmly thank the German-Ukrainian Energy Partnership Secretariat and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy for convening this important discussion on system resilience and energy security. #ENTSOE #Ukraine #EnergySecurity #Electricity #PowerSystem #EnergyTransition #SystemResilience #EuropeanEnergy #TSO #GridStability #MarketIntegration #EnergyCooperation #Berlin #EUenergy

⚡💻 How will the growing role of data centres shape Europe’s power system? Supported by the EC’s forthcoming Cloud and AI Development Act and the Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI, data centres are becoming an important component of Europe’s digital economy, with a growing impact on Europe’s power system. Today, 8 May, ENTSO-E publishes a new report exploring the interaction between data centres and the electricity system from a transmission system operator perspective. 🔍 The report looks at: 🔹 How data centres consume electricity and what this means for secure grid operation 🔹 The implications for grid planning and how these challenges can be addressed 🔹 The flexibility potential of data centres 📖 Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/dVWA9ENp

🔌 How do we build a resilient supply chain for Europe's electricity grid? On 6 May, ENTSO-E welcomed system operators, manufacturers, suppliers, policymakers and regulators to Brussels for a Joint Stakeholder Workshop on grid supply chains, co-organised with the EU DSO Entity, T&D Europe and Europacable. The dialogue took stock of progress under Action 13 of the European Commission's Action Plan for Grids (https://lnkd.in/efp-njxx) and the Joint Roadmap (https://lnkd.in/eqetdbP6), and looked ahead to the priorities that will shape a stronger European grid ecosystem. Stakeholders welcomed the increased visibility across the value chain, while also noting important progress on harmonisation efforts for HVDC project tenders and prequalification processes. A first assessment on harmonisation of HVDC project tenders and PQ, type testing and range of approval for extruded HVDC cables at 525 kV has now been completed and will be available for public consultation. Key threads from the day:  📊 Greater investment visibility across the value chain, building on the second edition of the ENTSO-E Investment Pipeline Survey and the EU DSO Entity’s supply chain data platform ♻️ Circularity and sustainability 🛒 Public procurement, the Industrial Accelerator Act and NZIA implementation 🔒 Physical and cyber security of critical infrastructure, and the availability of spare parts Special thanks to Patricia Labra (Chair of ENTSO-E’s System Development Committee), Branislav Pilát (ENTSO-E Asset Implementation and Management Group Convenor), Emil Tan (ENTSO-E Grid Infrastructure Specialist) and Alina Neagu (ENTSO-E Grid Infrastructure Manager), as well as our TSO experts Anne-Louise Modvig Clement, Marcela I. MANTILLA M., PhD and Jürgen Kucklinski, for helping drive an open and constructive exchange. We also thank colleagues from DG ENER - Joachim Balke, Zuzana Sádlová and Ilija Jovančević - together with our co-hosts Europacable, EU DSO Entity and T&D Europe, and all participants for their valuable contributions throughout the day. Finally, many thanks to Renewables Grid Initiative , International Copper Association and EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM for moderating the parallel sessions.  The work continues.  #SupplyChain #EnergyTransition #ElectricityGrid #ENTSOE

📢 Public Consultation Webinar | ENTSO-E RDI Implementation Plan 2026–2030   ENTSO-E is pleased to invite stakeholders to an online public consultation webinar on the draft Research, Development & Innovation (RDI) Implementation Plan 2026–2030:   🗓 8 May 2026 ⏰ 10:00–12:00 CET 💻 Online   This webinar is part of the ongoing public consultation and offers stakeholders the opportunity to: 🔹Get familiar with the new RDI Implementation Plan 2026–2030 🔹Ask questions and provide feedback during the session The RDI Implementation Plan 2026–2030 is the second document in the ENTSO-E RDI reporting cycle, following the RDI Roadmap 2024–2034. Developed in alignment with the Roadmap, it translates its Missions and Milestones into concrete guidelines for innovation project proposals through Project Concepts.   Serving as a catalyst for transformative change across Europe’s power sector, the Plan fosters collaboration led by European TSOs, promotes investment through private and EU funding instruments, and supports the modernisation of the European electricity system.   👉To attend the webinar, please register here: https://lnkd.in/eRcgZsiq   🔍Take part in the Public Consultation and let us hear your voice here: https://lnkd.in/eSfe8ajK

💡 As Europe’s energy transition accelerates, stronger coordination across energy carriers is becoming increasingly essential. ENTSO-E and ENTSOG, together with ENNOH, have submitted the Interlinked Modelling Report to the European Commission. ⚡The report provides a framework for cross-sector infrastructure planning, assessing interactions between electricity, gas and hydrogen within the TYNDPs. 🗓️ The next step will be a pilot study on cross-sector system needs assessment, now under preparation. 🤝 Stakeholder engagement has been central to this work and will remain so, as the implementation of the roadmap progresses.    👉 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eMch_5Vn
