Save the date for 2019 InnoGrid2020+ Conference in Brussels, 13-14 May 2019

The energy transition, driven in Europe by the EU 2050 energy decarbonisation target, is shaping the future electricity systems: the traditional meaning of “demand” and “supply” is about to be overcome and the distribution grid is and will be the crossroad for flexible power supply options from decentralised sources of generation, storage and demand response.

Call for applications regarding the 3rd Ana Aguado Scholarship Award is now open.

ENCS, the European Network of Cyber Security, and E.DSO, the European Distribution System Operators' Association have announced the launch of cyber-security requirements for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. As the first in an upcoming series of security standards for smart grid components, these mark a huge step in securing the little-understood cyber risk of EV chargers.

A future vision for electricity networks and the overall energy system: this was the topic of E.DSO’s first Stakeholders and Innovation Council hosted at the Bibliothèque Solvay in Brussels on the 30th of November.

How can satellite applications support the European power grid and its evolution? Answering this question is the goal of a new cooperation agreement, kicked off today, between the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) and the European Distribution System Operators Association (EDSO).

In a changing energy system, cities in Europe are facing challenging structural changes.  On 21 November 2018, EDSO organises a workshop to voice the commitment DSOs are applying to make use of electric power smarter and easier for citizens in cities. The workshop will bring together representatives from the Electricity Distribution System, EU institutions and cities as well as smart energy cities experts and local leaders. You are warmly welcome to our event and to proceed with registrations thanks to this page. 

The constructive cooperation of distribution system operators (DSOs) and transmission system operators (TSOs) continues: CEDEC, EDSO for Smart Grids, Eurelectric, GEODE and ENTSO-E signed today an updated Memorandum of Understanding. The first priority is to achieve a common vision on Active system management in order to integrate all distributed resources and new service providers in the electricity system and market, to ensure system security and to create value for the customer. Further collaboration areas will be decided at the beginning of 2019, taking into account the final Clean Energy Package.
